A modern BORO
It is produced a red BORO dress with processed denim’s remnants. BOROs are clothes worn with mended and processed carefully in the time there were not enough resources. BOROs were historically only blue in color, but by using cloth dyed with red dye, “A modern BORO” have been re-created as “Best clothes”.

In this exhibition, I made a red BORO with remnants processed by YutoRi18. The history of poverty in Japan is behind the clothe called BORO. Also, there are mostly blue ones, it is rarely red ones. That is why I used denim and remnants from Kimono and made “A modern BORO”.
Based on this event’s policy of respecting diversity, I would like to make the exhibition with the spirit of expanding existing values and interpretation.
