There were many stalls selling Kimonos and Yukatas at the Boro-ichi market in Setagaya. The colors and patterns were lovely - and yes I did buy one!
The Setagaya Boro-ichi flea market has been held since 1578, and is now officially recognized as one of Tokyo’s Intangible Folk Cultural Properties. How cool is it to go to a market that has been running for over 400 years!!!
"Boro" is the Japanese term for old fabric scraps, which were the main items traded at the market in the past.
