I loved the article but you should have used some pictures to show the beauty of the patwork Boro items. It's beyond what words can describe. I have written much about its unique aesthetics that surpasses Western worn denim pants by far. Wabi-Sabi is the term Japanese philosophers have used to describe something that is beautiful because of its apparent transcience. I am an enthustic "part-time" collector who lives in Japan. Feel free to have a look japanborovintage.com for some inpressions or read some of the articles.
