IT'S KYOTO STYLE NOREN

A noren is cloth to hang down as the outside and an internal partition at the entrance of the building and room of Japan.
The noren is raised at the entrances of the store, and a name, a business name or a family coat of arms are often dyed. Originally it is thought that I prevent that direct wind and light enter and do it when "against cold" and was attached with an opening. I have the purpose I am hard to be able to see the inside frankly from the outside, and to do.

  2. I love your photos and explanation. I have always seen these in the Japanese Pavilion at EPCOT in Orlando and I have always wondered how they were used. Me and my husband love Japan and would love to visit one day.
