Boro / Ranru
ぼろ/襤褸
People say Boro is the art.
I agree that Boro is beautiful as the art.
However.
Boro is not a word for patchworking.
Boro is not a technique of mending.
Boro represents the poverty in Japan, Shame and Pride.
Boro isn't just about "worn" fabric.
Boro carries a lot of stories, and the Japanese Culture.
We are here to share.
We make "To-Be-Authentic Boro" today to respect the Japanese.
