Meiji Era, 1868-1912, 49"/ 124.5 cm x 48"/ 122 cm. This exquisite boro is crafted and mended from a sashiko furoshiki and is layered with patches of indigo dyed homespun cotton, some of which are sashiko stitched. The original furoshiki shows corner motives of kiku (chrysanthemum), asa-no-ha (hemp leaf) and tasuki (crossed cords). This is a remarkably beautiful boro for its quirky placement of sashiko patches against the quite, dark-yet-bright field of indigo blue cotton patches, m ...click for details

49 1/2" x 46 1/2", 125cm x 118 cm, Showa Period, c. 1940, Probably placed under the kotatsu, or a low table heated by a brazier, this homespun sashiko square is layers thick and is constructed and reinforced by rows of white sashiko stitching.

Late Meiji/ Early Taisho, c. 1915, 42 12"/ 108 cm shoulder to hem x 47 1/2"/ 121 cm sleeve tip to sleeve tip. This is a wonderful example of a 'boro' or ragged, patched and mended farmer's kimono. It is at least four layers thick (see detail photos) and weighs as much as a rug. This kimono, being made from cast-off and recycled fabric is impossible to date, however it is clear that most of the fabric dates from the Meiji Era, however some of the large-repeat 'kasuri& ...click for details

Meiji Era (1868-1912), 55"/ 140 cm high x 60" x 153 cm wide. This 'boro' textile is a superb example of the patched, mended and reinforced futon covers of old Japan. In this piece we see a veritable blizzard of 'shima'--or hand loomed striped fabric--most of which are laid out in vertical format, creating a stunning visual insistency. Occasionally there is a bit of 'kasuri' ikat indigo amidst the strong flurry of striping. The lower left corner literally han ...click for details

This type of juban would have been worn under a kimono in the winter for warmth, and no doubt it is original to the north of Japan in the region called Tohoku, which in Meiji was a poor farming region.

from sleeve tip to sleeve tip: 146cm x from shoulder to bottom hem: 146 cm
This gorgeous behemoth of a yogi, or sleeping kimono, is patched and mended with such style that it is obvious that the placement of the patches against the tsutsugaki decoration creates an artful contrast, much adding to the original beauty.
