The Japanese style door curtain (noren; 暖簾) originated as a way for Japanese shopkeepers and homeowners to protect their space from dirt and weather while still allowing fresh air and light into the premises. Noren curtains are often used in outdoor doorways where they double as a form of signage for businesses. They are also hung indoors to divide spaces while providing some degree of privacy. Visit our blog to learn more about the history of the Japanese noren curtain.
This traditional Japanese noren features a bold woodblock-style graphic of two Japanese koi fish (鯉) swimming upstream towards a waterfall. The image featured on this noren curtain is inspired by an ancient Japanese legend that states that a koi fish that is strong enough to climb the waterfall will transform into a mighty dragon at the top. This legend is closely linked with some of the traditions associated with Children's Day in Japan.
As is custom, the Koi Fish Graphic Noren Japanese Door Curtain is designed with a center split in the fabric to allow for easy passage through doorways.

Please review your order carefully before checkout to ensure all details and shipping addresses are correct. While we are happy to assist with changes or cancellations, we cannot guarantee them once an order is submitted. Customers are responsible for any costs arising from order inaccuracies, including reshipment fees, carrier correction charges, or return shipping costs.

Love it! Wish the other designs were in stock at the time of ordering or at least the ability to place an order for them even if it meant waiting until they were back in stock or a near alternative were available.
Stunning and feel sturdy! Need to get them up soon!
