About the Item
This is a traditional Japanese noren (fabric divider) from the late Edo period, created in Yamagata Prefecture in the 19th century. Crafted from hand-spun and hand-woven hemp, it features the elaborate tsutsugaki aigaeshi dyeing technique—a specialized form of indigo reversal resist-dyeing prized for its bold contrast and precision.
The design includes the “Five-Boned Fan Crest” (Gohon-hone Ōgi-mon), a motif symbolizing the summoning of deities or spirits, reflecting its cultural role in military command as well as ceremonial contexts.
Such hemp noren from approximately 150 years ago are exceptionally rare, particularly those showcasing this level of craftsmanship and preservation. Despite visible signs of age, including small holes and frayed loops, the textile remains in usable condition and offers significant historical and artistic value.
Perfect as a striking wall hanging, room divider, or cultural accent in interiors. Adds a sophisticated, authentic Japanese touch to homes, boutiques, tea rooms, or gallery spaces. Offers both historical depth and decorative beauty, making it ideal for collectors and designers seeking unique heritage textiles.
