BREEZE – vintage Noren curtain in blue
Vintage Noren curtain made from sturdy cotton in an pale blue tone, featuring a bold Shodō calligraphy design.
The kanji shows:
驟雨一家 (The passing summer shower)
葉々清風 (A refreshing breeze through every leaf)
It tells you about when the summer rain freshly washes away leaves, and the cool breeze that follows. Quite poetical and very much related to this season of the year.
Looking at the signature it is most likely based on an artwork by Shimizu Kosho (1911-1999), a Japanese Buddhist monk, calligrapher and artist. He was the 207th Chief Abbot of Tōdai-ji Temple in Nara, Japan. He developed his own playful style of calligraphy and painting.
• Hang it as a room divider, or display it as a traditional piece of Japanese wall art.
• Comes with its original box covered in handmade paper, as well as the original insert.
• The Noren is in good vintage condition, it dates from around the 1980s.
How to hang a Japanese Noren: simply slide a tension rod or a wooden rod through the fabric sleeve at the top. You can also attach it to a wooden door frame using a few small pins. Rod and pins are not included.
