Antique Japanese Boro Kasuri Indigo Textile | Meiji Era Patchwork Fabric 14517

This is an authentic Kasuri (ikat) patchwork boro textile dating from the Meiji to Taisho period (late 19th – early 20th century Japan).

The deep indigo ground is covered with delicate kasuri patterns, showing extensive wear from daily life.
As the fabric weakened, it was repeatedly repaired with patches and reinforced stitching, creating a rich, layered surface born purely from necessity.

What remains is not simply a repaired cloth, but a powerful example of functional beauty (Yō no Bi)—
a textile shaped by time, use, and respect for material.

There are signs of age such as fading, uneven indigo tones, and minor fraying, yet the overall condition is very good and structurally sound.
The textile has not been washed, preserving its original texture, atmosphere, and historical presence.

High-quality kasuri boro pieces like this have become increasingly rare.
Ideal as a textile art piece, wall hanging, study reference, or inspiration for contemporary fashion and interior design.

A truly one-of-a-kind artifact—
a quiet masterpiece woven from everyday life in old Japan.
