Product Summary:
Japanese boro noragi (farmer's work garment) made from indigo-dyed fabrics. The body is pieced from vertically striped cloth, and the sleeves and shoulder sections use kasuri (ikat) patterned cloth, joined with visible hand stitching and patchwork repairs. The seller states it came from a family storehouse in Japan. No size tag or maker mark is present. Suitable as a textile collectible, display piece, or material for remake projects.
Condition:
Used, in as-found condition. The right front panel is missing. There is noticeable soiling, fading, thinning, small holes and fraying at the hem, cuffs and front edges, along with old hand-sewn repairs. The item has not been cleaned or restored. Please check every photo carefully, as they show the actual item.
