Noren
暖簾

Noren is a traditional Japanese curtain split into 2 or more panels.

​

Over time, its use evolved. Protecting the home from the elements, it could also be used to display the family coat-of-arms and to distinguish stalls. Noren is inseparable from Japanese culture.

​

My Noren are created on Kozo (Japanese paper made from mulberry fiber).

 

Their transparency to light brings the cyanotype and the paper to life. They represent a world in touch with Nature.
