Boro Mat Remnant

I think this piece of  Japanese cotton boro has been  part of a mat , but possibly a kotatsu or futon cover.  It measures approx 77cm x 87cm. This is an authentic antique patched and stitched textile that reflects the poverty that many Japanese lived in  up until the post-war years.  Boro pieces  usually have an identifiable original base that has been repaired. That isn't obvious in this remnant, but it may  have originally been constructed from a number of base pieces.   It dates from early - mid 20th century.
