Bring a striking statement piece into your home with our latest noren series.

The Smoke Noren features an elegant, flowing, asymmetrical design, like incense smoke rising into the air. It brings a sense of movement into the space, while retaining a clean and simple style.

The designs are hand-drawn by Funayama Arata, a visual and graphic artist whose work reinterprets classical Japanese patterns. He aims to help a contemporary audience feel more connected to the whole of Japanese culture — its nature, its materials, and its people.

The designs are hand-stenciled and screen printed onto linen using the tenassen (手捺染) technique by Shobien, a legacy dyeing workshop in Kyoto. See other works by Shobien.

Wooden poles are not included. Items are handcrafted and may vary slightly from the photograph.
