The Book of Boro Japanese Textiles will help you understand superb techniques and patterns inspired by traditional Japanese textiles! The word boro comes from the Japanese boroboro meaning 'rag', something tattered or repaired. It refers to textiles that have been mended or patched together for utilitarian, not decorative, purposes. This fabulous 128 page paperback explores the history of this technique and how it is being revived for a new audience using contemporary fabrics including denim, linen and tie dye. The techniques section includes a short stitch directory of traditional and contemporary stitches as well as instructions for improvisational patchwork, darning, and distressing fabrics to achieve an authentic boro finish. Wonderfully written by Susan Briscoe, The Book of Boro Japanese Textiles is a must have gift for all Japanese fabric enthusiasts!

FREE Japanese style Gift-Wrapping!
In Japan the presentation of your gift is almost as important as the gift itself so in true Japanese style we can offer you a FREE gift-wrapping service! We wrap your gifts using a special Japanese textured paper to which we then affix either a small origami crane bird (which represents love and peace in Japan) or a mizuhiki (coloured wire) motif.
If you would like your order gift-wrapped please remember to select the Gift-Wrapping option from the drop down box on the product page when placing your order, if you do not select this option we will assume that you do not require gift-wrapping.
