Nami Sashiko Boro Quilt

The Nami Sashiko Boro is an incredible vintage piece from Japan, dating back to the 1960s and features traditional sashiko stitching and boro. Sashiko is a form of handicraft where artisans hand stitch fabrics using thick threads into geometric patterns. The Nami Sashiko Boro displays meticulous and precise hand-stitching, showcasing the dedication of the artisan who spent months creating it. The straightness and consistent spacing of the threads attests to the expertise of the craftsperson. Sashiko is a functional and decorative technique often used to reinforce boro textiles. Boro is a traditional Japanese craft that involves up-cycling fabrics over several generations. The cloth is made by patching and mending layers of antique and vintage textile remnants, which are then dyed with indigo for its natural antibacterial properties. Boro cloth is like a conversation, a stunning work of art created over time. This piece is a combination of boro, indigo dyeing, and sashiko making it one of the most incredible textiles we've found to date. The Nami is in near perfect condition with minor signs of use and was likely created and stored away. We recommend using the piece as a blanket or throw on a sofa or at the end of a bed or displayed as textile art on a wall as a statement piece. One of a kind.
