The history of Norens dates back to the Jomon Era (approx. 12,000 ~ 300 BC). They were originally used to protect homes from the elements of the outside world. Norens were later adopted by shop owners to indicate that the shop was open, and soon began serving as advertisements, proudly bearing the name of the owner’s business. Today, Norens are displayed in homes as well as shops for decoration and displaying a sense of grace and beauty.

Noren curtains are now widely used in contemporary home and business decor, enhancing any room. They make wonderful doorways, wall hangings, or window dressings. Noren curtains are slit up the center, creating the ability for easy movement in and out of spaces. We have taken the traditional Japanese Noren curtain and expanded the concept into wonderful new dimensions.

We have added a third top piece (both sides) (the valance) in order to enrich the tradition design. All our Norens are hand painted (batik) on 100% Rayon fabric and are imported directly from Bali. Each Noren is custom designed exclusively. We draw upon a wide variety of sacred images from around the world and mix the sublime with elements of nature.

All of our Doorways are hand made and as such can very slightly from piece to piece.

2-Panel Doorways, or Norens in Japanese, have been used for centuries in Japan as an elegant solution for dividing living space. We have added an extra top piece (valance) for beauty and grace. Each of our Doorways are hand painted (batik), and are made of the highest quality 100% Rayon fabric. They fit normal doorways and are great solutions for closets as well as separating living spaces. Each Doorway is hand crafted and will slightly very in design as well as in dimension.

The approximate size of each Doorway is: 6’wide X 73’tall
