Folk Art: Textiles, Boro The type of clothing worn by farmers, craftspeople, and merchants was much less ornate compared to the upper classes. Although constructed of less expensive cloth, the garments of the vast majority of Japanese were no less beautiful in form and variety of decoration. Jackets, vest, pants, leggings, and shoes were skillfully engineered for mobility, climate, and economy, as well as for aesthetic qualities. Many of these types of garments are still in use today.
