A Large Beautiful Sashiko Stitched Boro Komebukuro: Interesting Inside-Out
early to mid twentieth century
as shown: 15" x 10" x 10", 38 cm x 25.5 cm x 25.5 cm
This is a wonderful, rustic and boro komebukuro of very good size and one that should be considered by anyone wishing to acquire a good quality boro bag.
Its inside and its outside both are equally beautiful with old cotton fragments and patches, with the bonus of a large, shibori patch and wonderful chain stitch sashiko writing, the owner's name, on the front of the bag.
The dimensions as shown above reflect the size of the bag as pictured. The bag is shown fully and on all its sides, and both inside and out and detailed.
The thick, rustic cording is original to the bag; there is a coin-sized hold to one side of the bag which can be seen if you look carefully at the photos here.
Simply wonderful.
