| 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, many of which are perfectly faded and muted. Boro sashiko furoshikis of this quality and artfulness are rare to come by; compare this to examples in the 'bible' of boro 'Boro no Bi', pp. 180-181. | ||||||||||||
