Boro Matsuri

For a taste of Japanese craftsmanship, head to Blue & White in Azabu-Juban for its celebration of boro, a Japanese artform where old textiles are mended, reworked and upcycled through patching and stitching. In a way, boro can be described as a style of Japanese patchwork, and each piece is unique in its own way. These handmade textiles are showcased in various forms, from boro bags and books to pins and T-shirts, all of which are for sale.
