Large Indigo Boro Futon Cover

A four-panel indigo cotton boro futon cover from the early 20th century, featuring layers of mending and repair.
This piece reflects the Japanese philosophy of mottainai, with hand-stitched patches and reused cotton layered over time. Originally used as a futon cover, it can now be appreciated as a textile artwork, displayed as a wall hanging, or repurposed into something new.

Some areas show significant wear and holes, adding to its character and history.
