Yumi Ishikita of Noboriya makes these by katazome, the Japanese art of hand-dyeing cloth through a stencil, on natural hemp with natural dyes. Each measures 59 × 35 in. Choose from five of her designs: Banana Leaf Blue, Chigaimaru-Nami with its offset circles, the yellow-dotted Mimoza-Nami, and Nami-Nami waves in blue or in brown. Hung in a doorway it softens the view and the light; on a wall it reads as a piece of textile art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Noboriya (dyeing studio of Yumi Ishikita)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yumi Ishikita\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Noren (Japanese fabric door curtain \/ divider)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePatterns:\u003c\/strong\u003e Banana Leaf Blue, Chigaimaru-Nami, Mimoza-Nami, Nami-Nami Blue, Nami-Nami Brown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTechnique:\u003c\/strong\u003e Katazome, traditional Japanese stencil hand-dyeing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural hemp fabric with natural dyes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 59 × 35 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade in:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem numbers (MPN):\u003c\/strong\u003e Banana Leaf Blue NO-202303; Chigaimaru-Nami NO-202301; Mimoza-Nami NO-202302; Nami-Nami Blue NO-202304; Nami-Nami Brown NO-202305\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKatazome, stencil-dyed by hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural hemp fabric and natural dyes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e59 × 35 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFive designs by Yumi Ishikita\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHang in a doorway, window or as wall art\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBest for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDoorways between kitchen and living room, closets and pantries without doors, studio entrances, a window that needs soft privacy, or a blank wall in a Japandi, mid-century or boho room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho this is not for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull blackout or complete privacy: hemp filters light and the slits open.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBathrooms with steam or outdoor use (our advice).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone who wants machine-printed uniformity: each piece is hand-dyed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy we carry it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe’ve been curating design-led pieces since 2009, and Japanese craft objects like this one earn their place by being used every day. Noboriya is the dyeing studio of textile designer Yumi Ishikita. She works in katazome, the traditional Japanese technique of hand-dyeing cloth through a stencil, and makes each noren in natural hemp with natural dyes. Yumi Ishikita says she was drawn to katazome for its warmth and simplicity, and to the way a single dyed cloth can change the mood of a room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBuy once: durability and care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand-dyed with natural dyes, so avoid hanging it in strong direct sunlight for long periods, and spot-clean or hand-wash it gently in cold water with a mild detergent, then dry it flat in the shade (our advice).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is a noren used for?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt divides spaces softly: hung in a doorway, between rooms, on a wall or in a window, with slits so you can pass through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow big is the Noboriya noren?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e59 × 35 in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is the Noboriya noren made of?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eNatural hemp fabric, hand-dyed with natural dyes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is katazome?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eA traditional Japanese technique in which cloth is dyed by hand through a stencil, leaving a crisp pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhich Noboriya noren pattern should I choose?
