■ Product Details ■

  • Era: Around mid-Showa period

  • Material: Cotton (There is a possibility that a small amount of other fibers are blended. Please judge by the photos.)

This is a rare vintage cotton fabric unraveled from a futon cover dating back to the mid-Showa period.
Based on a plaid pattern, it features a crazy patchwork design made by joining multiple fabrics, giving it a unique presence that changes appearance depending on the viewing angle — truly a one-of-a-kind piece.

The patched areas and hand-stitched repairs seen throughout are traces of a time when people carefully reused fabric, embodying the Japanese aesthetic known as “boro.”
This fabric, worn and repaired over time, transcends mere material and can be regarded as a time-worn art piece.

In recent years, "BORO," as it is known, has gained remarkable recognition overseas, attracting attention in the fields of art, design, and fashion.
Especially fabrics with visible repairs and handwork are highly appreciated worldwide by artists and collectors as symbols of the Japanese aesthetic concept of "Wabi-sabi."

Size: Approximately 289 cm (W) × 154 cm (shortest H) to 173 cm (longest H)
(Approximately 113.8 inches × 60.6 inches to 68.1 inches)

It can be enjoyed as a large accent piece when hung on a wall or used as a sofa cover or bed throw. It also has a strong presence as a material for upcycled items such as coats and bags.

From those who wish to savor the charm of the fabric itself to creators who want to breathe new life into their works, this cloth will surely spin new stories according to the user’s sensibility.

Please note that the item will be compressed for shipping, which may cause wrinkles. We kindly ask for your understanding in advance.
