Countless pieces of fabric have been assembled and passed down from generation to generation. The handiwork of anonymous people, born into poverty, overwhelms the viewer.

The rags, created by the hands of anonymous people in rural areas and fishing villages during hard times, are now so highly regarded in the art and textile world that they are known worldwide as "BORO".

This book contains around 400 carefully selected pieces from a collection of over a thousand assembled by Kosaku Nukata over a period of 35 years.
