Zurcir el Cielo

Boro and sashiko embody a profound philosophy: the beauty of imperfection, repair as a form of care, and the continuity of life through objects. The impact that Japanese culture, history, and traditional craftsmanship had on Aitor Saraiba defines the essential features of his work today. In this book, through his story and simple projects, the textile artist immerses us in the fascinating Japanese imagination to explore traditional techniques such as boro, sashiko, and indigo dyeing; key figures like yōkai and omamori; and fundamental concepts such as kokoro (the sensitivity that perceives the beautiful and the ephemeral), mottainai (not wasting), mame (not discarding what can be useful), and konseki (scar, the mark of what was here before). Zurcir el Cielo. Aitor Saraiba. Published in 2026. 200 pages. In Spanish.
