Dyeing the Wind, Painting the Seasons. "Modern Noren" made by Kyoto craftsmen.｜Manyosha
Seasonal flowers that catch your eye the moment you open the entrance.
The transparency of hemp gently separating the living room and dining room.
Manyosha's Noren gives "margin" and "color" to life like a painting decorating a wall.
A single piece of cloth changes the space
Founded in 1952, "Manyosha" is a fabric brand operated by Uno Co., Ltd. in Kyoto. They have redefined "Noren," which has long been used as a partition and sunshade in Japanese houses, as interior art that fits modern living spaces. They luxuriously use "Hemp (Linen/Ramie)" which has a unique crispness and transparency. Each piece, dyed by Kyoto craftsmen using traditional techniques such as "Rozome" (wax resist), "Hand-painting," and "Tie-dyeing," has the power to completely change the atmosphere of a room.
Why "Manyosha" is Chosen | 3 Reasons
Various "Dyeing" Techniques
The biggest feature of Manyosha is that they use the optimal dyeing technique according to the design. You can feel the warmth of handwork by Kyoto craftsmen, such as "Hand-painting" directly with a brush, "Stencil dyeing" using pattern paper, "Rozome" (Wax resist dyeing), and "Tie-dyeing" squeezing the cloth.
Commitment to Natural Material "Hemp"
The fabrics used are mainly natural hemp materials such as Ramie and Linen. The weave and neps (knots) unique to hemp are tasteful, and the beautiful transparency when held up to the light is a texture that cannot be produced with synthetic fibers. It has good breathability and looks cool.
Modern "Japanese Modern" Design
Not only classical patterns, but also modern designs like geometric patterns and abstract paintings are abundant. It blends naturally into Japanese-style rooms as well as flooring living rooms and apartment entrances, and is chosen by those who think "Too Japanese is a bit..."
Editor's Note
Since I started using Manyosha's Noren, I have been looking forward to "seasonal redecoration." Cherry blossoms in spring, goldfish in summer, autumn leaves in autumn... just changing the noren changes the atmosphere of the room dramatically. I especially like the "Enso" (Circle) design. Although simple, the brush strokes are powerful and go well with modern furniture. When the hemp fabric lets light through, even the shadows falling on the floor are beautiful and enchanting.
Art of Hemp Enjoying Four Seasons | 5 Editor's Picks
From seasonal noren hand-painted by craftsmen to modern geometric patterns. A lineup of high-quality hemp that lets light and wind pass through.
Hand-painted Noren: Shidare Zakura
Announcing the arrival of spring. Graceful cherry blossoms paying homage to Rinpa school.
A hand-painted long noren incorporating the style of the Edo period art school "Rinpa". The weeping cherry blossoms drawn with a bold composition give brilliance to the space. The petals drawn by craftsmen with a brush have different expressions one by one, and have a presence as if real cherry blossoms are blooming.
For the entrance or living room in spring (February-April). It has gained the highest evaluation as a gift for new construction celebrations and overseas people.
Neo-Classic Noren: Enso (Circle)
Ultimate simplicity. A "One-stroke" circle representing the heart of Zen.
A popular noren depicting "Enso," a symbol of enlightenment and truth, with powerful brush strokes. The design stripped of unnecessary decorations goes well with modern interiors and exposed concrete walls. Astringent indigo and mustard colors tighten the space.
As a design usable all year round. Recommended for men's rooms and study partitions.
Hemp Noren: Reiwa no Someiro (Solid)
Beautiful colors. High-quality solid noren dyed in traditional Japanese colors.
A simple solid color series recommended for those who find patterns difficult. Dyed in beautiful traditional Japanese colors such as coral, violet, and nightingale. You can enjoy the texture of hemp itself and the gradation of color when light passes through.
For partitioning any room. It does not assert too much and you can choose according to the theme color of the room.
Somewake Noren (Lotus/Morning Glory)
Chic contrast. Bold composition dyed in two colors.
A series where the fabric is boldly dyed separately up and down or left and right. The color boundary becomes an accent, blocking the line of sight but not giving a feeling of oppression. Plant motifs such as lotus and morning glory emerge like silhouettes, creating a chic Japanese space.
For summer blindfolds and entrances to Japanese-style rooms. Simple but highly designed, you will not get tired of it.
Hand-painted Tapestry (Choju-Giga etc.)
Art hanging on the wall. Incorporate seasons without taking up space.
A tapestry narrower than noren that can be decorated like a hanging scroll. There are a wide variety of designs, such as those humorously depicting the national treasure "Choju-Giga" (Frolicking Animals) and those depicting seasonal beauties of nature. Ideal for wall decoration where there is no need to pass through.
For niches in entrances, alcoves, and living room walls. An item with many fans who enjoy changing it every season.
Summary: Decorating the wind of Kyoto in your room.
It is just a single piece of cloth, but it is filled with the skills of Kyoto dyeing craftsmen and the heart of admiring Japan's four seasons.
As a blindfold for an opening without a door, or as a tapestry on the wall.
