Noren

Noren are traditional Japanese fabric curtains, commonly used as partitions at the entrances of stores or inside homes. They are hung from the top and are characterized by a vertical split in the middle, allowing for easy passage of people.

Noren have various meanings and uses. In many shops, they bear the store's name or logo, serving as a signboard. Additionally, noren are used as symbols of a shop's dignity and tradition. For instance, high-quality noren with traditional designs are often found in long-established restaurants.

Traditional noren often feature Japanese patterns and nature motifs, reflecting the beauty of Japanese culture.
