Antique Japanese Boro Patched Noren Curtain

Product Description

This Japanese noren curtain is hand-stitched from antique handspun, handwoven and naturally dyed cotton. A perfect room divider in the home – transforming your space into a zen retreat.

Noren are Japanese curtains or doorway covers, coming in longer or shorter lengths. Either covering the full width of a doorway or floating in the middle – acting as a still divide and providing psychological transition between spaces.

Japanese Boro textiles are usually sewn from nineteenth and early twentieth century rags and patches of indigo dyed cotton. The diversity of boro textiles is due to the variety of hand-loomed cotton textiles which are patched by hand with sashiko thread. The composition of different patches and mended sections is not planned and therefor holds a beauty and authenticity.

Please note this textile is antique and will hold signs of age – adding to its beauty.
