Antique Japanese Boro Edo Meiji Patchwork Distressed Fiber Textile Wall Art 004

This piece is made from authentic Japanese boro textiles that I handpicked and restored in my Brooklyn studio. I spent over 240 hours stitching it all together, with slow, steady work that respects the fabric’s past and the craft behind it.

I used two deconstructed noragi vests and added patches from the mid-1800s to early 1900s, sourced from skilled Japanese textile dealers who specialize in historic fragments. The textures and patterns are raw and layered, telling quiet stories of daily life, wear, and repair.

It's my tribute to imperfection, time, and the beauty of things that are lived-in. Finished on premium Museo ALU-frame stretcher bars for a clean, museum-quality look that balances tradition with a modern edge.
