It is believed that Japanese noren originated during the Jomon period (12,000 – 300 BC) and were used to protect households from the negative forces of nature.
Japanese noren are decorative curtain, which are often hung in doorways to separate two rooms. They are sometimes used in Japanese shops and restaurants to keep out dust, excessive sun and wind, and often display the business logo. In addition, they can signify whether the shop or restaurant is open.
Through time, the applications of noren became more diverse and are now used extensively in crafting and quilting.
