Notice (For U.S. Buyers)

Shipping costs for orders to the United States include customs duties and clearance fees.

For orders outside the United States, these fees are not included and may be charged separately depending on each country’s regulations.

This is an antique Japanese "boro" noragi (workwear jacket) made of indigo-dyed fabric, dating back to the early Meiji period. It is a traditional utilitarian garment constructed by repeatedly patching and stitching together various scraps of cloth over time.

The jacket features a patchwork of multiple indigo textiles in different shades of blue. It includes sections of woven striped patterns and fragments with resist-dyed (katazome) motifs. The garment is reinforced with hand-stitched "sashiko" running threads, which hold the heavily layered fabrics together.

Height (Length): 100 cm / 39.37 in
Width: 108 cm / 42.51 in

The garment exhibits severe signs of aging and heavy historical use. There are large tears, frayed edges, holes, stains, color fading, and extensive hand-sewn repairs throughout the fabric. 

Please check the photos carefully for details.
