For centuries, Japanese shopkeepers and homeowners have used norens as a way to divide rooms, advertise their shops, and to keep dirt and debris out while letting fresh air in. These traditional fabric room dividers offer privacy and help to mentally separate spaces without closing the space off entirely like a door would, allowing the doorway to still feel open and welcoming.
Not only are Japanese door curtains practical, but they also serve as beautiful décor items too. Handmade in the USA of fine imported Japanese fabrics, the J-Life noren can be hung anywhere in the home, such as in any doorways, over windows, as wall décor, or in outdoor spaces.
