"BORO (らんる/ボロ)" originally refers to "torn or damaged clothes or cloth" in Japanese. In times when cloth was very precious, especially in rural and fishing villages from the Edo period to the Meiji period, people did not throw away old cloth or clothing but repaired them by hand sewing and used them repeatedly. In this way, patched-up cloth and clothing came to be called "BORO." "BORO" is not just discarded cloth, but its mending methods and the accumulated handwork techniques symbolize the traditional Japanese "mottainai spirit" (a sense of regret over waste) and the wisdom of life. Today, its unique beauty and historical background are highly valued, and it is highly regarded overseas as "BORO" in the fields of art, fashion, and textiles. #ranru #BORO #BORO #IndigoDye #Sashiko #BORO #BORO #boro #VintageCloth #Antique #Antiques #FineArt #BOROCloth #HandSewn
