A Japanese Indigo Boro.

A Japanese Indigo Boro.
Mostly indigo plaid.
Measurements: 64 inches X 68inches or 1630 x 1730 cm's
 
These patchwork boros define beautifully the idea of nobility with humility.
Composed of indigo scraps to form covers, they were very much created for utility.
Indigo was used for workers clothes and nothing was thrown away.
Indigo was a natural protection against insects. No moth will feast upon it.
