REQUEST Help with technique

Hey y'all, does anyone know about or how I can find more information about this technique in some Japanese fashion companies that use boro?

Mainly I'm having little luck (I think for lack of proper terms) finding out what it's called and how they seeming blend different types of denim to look flush or almost like 1 piece of fabric as pictured. I can't tell if it's literally just denim scraps that are boro'd thoroughly to achieve that effect or if they piece together different pieces of denim like it's a quilt.

Any thoughts, ideas, or knowledge on this would be much appreciated

Disclaimer, I haven't ever done this and am wildly guessing — but the way I'd approach it would be to use water-soluble interfacing and glue to stick all the denim pieces together, stitch through the whole thing, and then wash it
