Noren - Beautiful Japanese Curtains

Traditional Japanese Beauty - 1

Japanese noren (暖簾) curtains are used in a number of ways: At the entrance to shops and restaurants, public baths and onsen, and as room dividers. Most noren you see are machine-made and tacky, but some are so beautiful they will take your breath away. Just do an image search on Google or Pinterest and you'll see what I mean! You will most likely find the nicer ones in more traditional towns and cities like Kyoto or Kamakura. Keep your eyes open and your camera handy as you walk around Japan. See if you can find some really nice ones and start a collection of noren photos. Noren make great souvenirs, too!
