Noren - blue with dots


Noren are tapestry to be hung in a doorway, as a curtain, room divider or wallhanging. 

Typically, noren are 33-34" W x 58-59" H, and made of cotton, linen or a combination of both.  

Although noren is now in homes, they were traditionally hung in doorways of a business, usually designed with their logo and name and signifying whether they were open or closed. Japanese businesses still use them in this capacity today.
