However, as Atsushi has had more opportunities to share what Boro really is, Keiko decided to entrust the jacket to the next generation a little earlier than planned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe jacket is composed of layers of carefully preserved Japanese vintage fabrics (Kofu), including valuable Kasuri, joined, reinforced, and stitched by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWe do not consider this jacket to be a completed “Boro.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIt is Boro (to be).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIn our understanding, Boro is not something we simply create to look old or heavily patched. It develops through time—by using fabric, repairing it, adding another layer when necessary, and continuing to use it instead of discarding it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFrom here, Atsushi will wear, use, repair, and continue adding stitches and fabrics as necessary. Through this process, the jacket will continue to carry the story of what Sashiko is, and what Boro can become—from one generation to the next.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e[Product Information]\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eMaterial: Cotton 100%, including carefully selected Japanese Vintage Fabric (Kofu) and Kasuri\u003cbr\u003eStitching: Hand-stitched Sashiko\u003cbr\u003eCreated by: Keiko Futatsuya\u003cbr\u003eMade in Japan\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe jacket will continue to change through wear, repair, and additional Sashiko.
