{"product_id":"reviving-boro","title":"Reviving Boro","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrom ‘shameful’ utilitarian garments to a contemporary, trans­cultural fashion trend: like wabi-sabi and kintsugi before it, boro has gained worldwide recognition as a quintessential Japanese aesthetic and sustainable design practice. How has this \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003ecross-cultural reimagining shaped boro’s meaning in art and fashion? And what are we doing when we make, collect, display and wear boro today?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs boro’s functional value has decreased in the contemporary context, it has acquired new layers of meaning: from antique object to vintage fashion style, sustainable design practice to contemporary art piece. Reviving Boro investigates this revival using primary materials, including a wealth of unpublished images, oral histories and archival research.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLeren Li conducts a thorough examination of the process of value generation, reviewing personal and museum boro collections, emerging boro brands, and recent boro initiatives undertaken by independent fashion innovators. Investigating boro as a revived cultural phenomenon, this is a critical resource for readers wanting to understand the past, present and future of this traditional Japanese textile.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57260664095064,"sku":"9781350516243","price":97.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781350516243_7520f83c-4c4b-4dc7-a1a4-424e143248c8.jpg?v=1781087438","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/reviving-boro","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
