Noren
Steep yourself in Japan's traditons with our collection of Japanese noren curtains.
Noren are traditional Japanese curtains, often hung in doorways or entrances of shops, restaurants, and homes. These split curtains serve both functional and decorative purposes. The term "noren" is derived from the Japanese words "nori" (to hang) and "nuru" (to cover).
They are also used to signify whether a shop is open or closed; when a noren is hung across the entrance, it indicates that the establishment is open for business, and when it's taken down, it signifies closure.
Noren have become a symbol of Japanese hospitality and are an integral part of the country's traditional culture.
