Vintage Japanese Noren - Cotton | Kimono Figure & Dragonfly Motif

A vintage Japanese pale blue cotton noren.

Two panels printed with a kimono-clad figure wearing a conical kasa hat, surrounded by dragonfly motifs in cream on a soft blue-grey ground. Shorter in length than a standard doorway noren, with a rod sleeve intact at the top.

Noren are traditional Japanese fabric dividers, historically hung in doorways to signal that a business was open, or used within the home to separate interior spaces.
