A Big, Beautifully Blue, Stitched, Five Panel Boro Futon Cover
Written on October 20, 2010
I just acquired this big, beautifully blue, cotton, boro futon cover on my recent trip to Japan.
It is comprised of five panels, with magnificent stitching and fantastic layers of old, patched cottons. The intricate details, which abound, are exactly what you’d want to find in a superb, old, boro futon cover. Have a look: 
it is exquisitely beautiful…and to think this wonder was created from necessity.
