BORO Japanese Clothing Culture Rags and Tatters Aomori in English

Description: Thank you for visiting our shop. We sell Japanese cameras and books that convey Japanese culture. BORO INTRODUCTION:This book presents the collection of Chuzaburo Tanaka, who has been walking around Aomori Prefecture (the northernmost part of Japan after Hokkaido) since the 1960s, collecting bedding, work clothes, and other fabrics for daily life.In the cold climate of Aomori, where cotton cultivation is impossible, cotton cloth, which is warm and gentle on the skin, was once a precious commodity. Until distribution became what it is today, poor farmers and fishermen made clothing and bedding from hemp and the few cotton rags they could find, sewing them together or overlapping them to make the warmest possible garments. Even the threads were used.This collection is beautiful without any unnecessary artifice, but more than that, it expresses the proof of life of the common people who lived in a harsh environment.All content is translated into English. BoroIn Japanese, the word boro generally means worn-out and torn clothes, clothes with many joints, and used and useless cloths.In this book, boro refers to the clothing and cloth goods of the common people, which have been used for a long time with many joints to keep them warm and to make them last longer. Comments from usWe had a strong impression of BORO, which seems to express the way of life of the common people in the cold land.
