Quote from video mentioned below: ...."The Boro movement was a period in Japanese history about 100-150 years ago when peasants constructed quilts, coverlets, and work clothes made from recycled Japanese kimonos and yucatas. Not conceiving of the present-day value and interest towards recyclability or renewability, but instead the practical needs of people too poor to afford new clothing, these garments defined fashion for the lower classes for many years as they sought comfort, warmth, and protection from the elements."
The video I watched is: Part One - Boro: Japanese Rag Textiles from shabby to chic, with Yoshiko I. Wada and Kim Shufftan. (I'm afraid I could not make a link), bye Saskia
