PåmeldingBORO – Textile recycling in Japan during Meiji – Age
Subject: Recycling – reuse – zero waste in textiles
Boro is the general term of old and heavy patched textiles of the poor peasants and fishermen of the northern part of Japan, a very cold and unhospitable region.
Boro textiles were mainly made in the end of the 19th century until about 1920, when Japans borders were open to the world and cotton textiles spread about the whole country.
The time before cotton the peasants took rags of the citizens to repair and stuff the hemp clothings to get them warm and comfortable. They create a variegated and aesthetical look mended of tatters.
In the beginning of the workshop Japanese boro textiles will be introduced by a pictorial lecture. It shows the traditional textiles, the materials and the artisanal skills and methods.
The workshop will instruct the technical and aesthetical kind of creating textiles by recycling and reusing fabrics. Basically you will learn the typical kind of Japanese hand sewing and stitching sashiko by producing the traditional Japanese cleaning rag zokin.
Everybody will sew a furoshiki, this traditional Japanese cloth for wrapping goods is coming up-todate also in Europe.
Highlight will be creating a handmade komebukuro out of patches. This special bag for food offerings during shinto ceremonies owns some interesting technical and aestethical details.
All objects demand creative and skilled manual work.
Moreover the workshop will refer to the philosophical roots of boro relating to the Buddhistic and Japanese aesthetic principle of mottainai – don’t waste anything.
