Know before you buy
The noren features a rod pocket at the top designed to accommodate a standard tension rod or a decorative wooden dowel. Simply slide your rod through the opening and mount it within your door frame.
The high-quality linen provides a semi-sheer finish that obscures direct views while still allowing light to filter through. It is ideal for defining spaces or softening a doorway without completely blocking the room.
Due to the delicate nature of the katazome dyeing technique, we recommend hand washing in cold water with a gentle detergent. Lay the curtain flat to air dry and use a cool iron if necessary to remove wrinkles.
While the traditional katazome process is durable, natural linen and hand-dyed pigments can fade if exposed to direct, harsh sunlight for extended periods. We recommend placing your noren in an area with indirect light to preserve the vibrancy of the patterns.
Yes, the linen is durable enough for daily use in both homes and commercial settings. The split-panel design is specifically engineered to allow for easy passage while maintaining a distinct visual barrier.
