This is a well-preserved, moderately worn boro rug for a sunken kotatsu. Both sides feature beautiful patchwork, are in good condition, and are visually appealing and practical. Boro rugs for kotatsu are often tattered and not suitable for practical use, even when found in storage, so this is considered a very fine piece. There are no major tears, and the repairs are well done. The center is hollow, but it weighs a considerable 3.6kg, suggesting a significant layering of fabric. The sashiko stitching is finely done, with a width of about 2cm, making it easy to handle. The thickness is consistent throughout. Size: Approximately 180 x 175 cm Weight: 3.6kg Since it remains in the form of a rug, I hope it can be passed down to future generations. Boro rugs are hard to come by these days, and I believe this is a wonderful item. As this is antique boro fabric, there are patches, scratches, discoloration, and stains that reflect its age. We appreciate your understanding of antique fabrics that have aged over time. #Click here for the Boro collection of Vintage etc. Kimono Remake Old Fabric Asagi color Gori hemp Antique tools Old folk house Boro Boro Nagagi Noragi Mosquito net Hanten Saki-ori NORA Tsutsugaki Old fabric Boro Hagi-re Hagi-re Boro fabric Hemp Indigo dyeing Hand-dyed Antique Antiques Handmade Handmade Residual yarn Retro Weaving Antique cloth Japanese clothing Japanese fabric Vintage Vintage Bashofu Dyeing Dyeing Hand-dyed One-of-a-kind Rare Handmade Persimmon tannin Old fabric remake Boro remake Early Showa period Flour bag Square bag Carp Ascending carp Japanese pattern japan vintage boro noragi aizome Valuable Meiji era Sado Island Large size Hamagi Genuine indigo dyeing Indigo plain cloth Furoshiki Futon cover Saki-ori Tsutsugaki Shosei Kasuri Yukinko Kasuri
