#Royal Blue Rayon

[kubotafinearts]

The idea of boroboro is that it’s your junk-est clothes. It’s da clothes you weed in not go to temple or obon in.

But arts like sashiko and boro pro are now being lauded by white people who are buying up and increasing value of these pieces.

Which is great to a point.

The point being are we going to adknowlge that this is a Buddhist Japanese American Diaspora and Japanese Diaspora art of plantation workers, and slaves who made their clothes last?

These stitches are practical because they reinforce the fabric. And the indigo repells insects. The stitches on the outside are so they don’t bother skin. Because when we’re working shouldn’t we be comfortable?

What is the answer to fashion based slavery is the huge question my exhibit asks.

And for me the answer signs in ASL: its complicated/it depends.

In fashion I think if we all learned how to repair something in our traditoways and were encouraged to repair one thing we care about, or hire someone to and pay them well, that we could reduce waste, pollution, while also adknowlging that fast casjio fills a need for affordable attractive clothes that fit well.

2. Introducing the Ladies: Each Outfit and what they mean

BoroBoro Britney

She’s lined with a brides Maid robe of rayon blend that is made to emulate satin. It’s peak fast fashion, made to be tossed once the wedding is done. It found it’s way to a Goodwill, the largest one in Seattle off Jackson and that found its way to me.

The color, champagne is peak wedding. For most Japanese women who worked in the fields, they came as picture brides, mostly unwillingly, or coerced.

For my family, and my great grandmother it was unwilling.

But the US’s racist policies refused to let families immigrate. Like how the policies are now, they separated families if you had one. It was illegal to marry other ethnicities. And your children would be considered not legitimate by both cultures.

I’m saying this as a bi-racial Japanese person. Even today, I was heavily bullied as a child and ostracized, while being fetishized.

The main fabric is themed off a fabric I designed. It’s too expensive to make the entire Kimono out of that. Which is the concept of BoroBoro itself. You don’t have enough money to have good fabric so you reinforced the fabric while you repair it. It’s a supplemental kind of sewing that uses what you have.

If you think it looks a lot like quilting, you’re right! Quilting and boroboro both use scrap fabric and stitches to bind and sandwich fabrics together.

The main fabric is a dark royal blue that I designed in PicsArt and Instagram Layout on my Google Pixel 5 Android Phone. I designed the fabric to mimic the nights sky in Haiku Maui and from Halēakala. The lei are wound with lilikoi flowers and lion fish and Kamehameha butterflies and sparkles to symbolize fire and metal. It's meant to show the 5 elements wound together in harmony and balance.

The edges of the fabric are hand dyed in indigo but it’s splotchy.

UB40 joue Forever true to the Royal Blue, un chant de supporters, durant la mi-temps d'un match de Birmingham City à domicile, au stade Saint-Andrew. UB40 est un groupe britannique de reggae fondé en 1978 à Birmingham. Le nom du groupe fait référence au formulaire britannique de demande des droits au chômage.

Saint-Andrew, joli petit stade à pentes douces où nous étions allé voir cette équipe battre Blackburn le 13 Février de cette année. Elle plonge en D3 la saison prochaine. Birmingham, ville assez déglinguée mais pleine de vitalité, ville d'usines transformées en salles de concert où se presse la jeunesse prolétarienne blanche les soirs de semaine. Ville du saint catholique John Henry Newman, et d'une dizaine de stades au total en comptant l'agglomération.

Le chant, l'église, le stade, la vie, ma vie. Parfois nous passons à côté de l'évidence, à côté de la chance que nous avons de vivre dans la Civilisation, dans un monde si beau. Le rayon de lumière sur la pelouse au début de la vidéo, le nuage de poussière au fond à gauche, l'alignement des gradins bien garnis, le gars en polo beige à 2:11 qui plane avec ses potes, les bras qui se lèvent dans le lointain, les poings droits brandis et les pintes dans la main gauche, le refrain posé dans les graves, le "royal blue", le bleu du stade, le bleu du ciel... le genre de voyage qui vaut le détour quand les pélérinages se barrent en vrille.
