Pumpkin Katazome Noren Curtain

A handmade two-panel noren featuring a pumpkin motif on handwoven natural ramie.

The motif is produced through a traditional katazome paste-resist process, allowing the lighter natural ramie to remain visible against the selected plant-dyed background.

The open weave gently filters light, maintains airflow, and provides partial visual privacy. Although lightweight and semi-sheer, ramie retains a naturally crisp, structured body rather than falling like a soft or loosely draped curtain.

Suggested Uses

Place it at a kitchen, pantry, breakfast-nook, or dining-room entrance to create a warm botanical transition between spaces.

Use it outside a bathroom doorway to add visual privacy while maintaining ventilation.

Hang it at a bedroom, guest room, closet, dressing area, laundry room, home office, or studio entrance where a solid door may feel too enclosed.

It can also soften the end of a hallway, conceal a storage area, divide an open-plan room, or create a welcoming entrance for a café, restaurant, farm shop, or retail space.

When not used in a doorway, it may be displayed as a wall textile or seasonal decorative hanging.

Installation

For a minimal, no-drill installation, place the noren inside the doorway using a tension rod.

For wider coverage or a stronger architectural presence, install a curtain rod above or outside the opening.

Rod and mounting hardware are not included.

5-Year-Aged Persimmon Tannin — Earth Brown · Limited Edition
A rich, weathered brown created with aged persimmon tannin. The dye gives the fabric a firmer, more substantial character and greater resistance to weathering than the other color options.

This version may be used in covered outdoor or semi-outdoor spaces, although direct rain, prolonged moisture, and extreme weather should be avoided. Availability is limited due to the small quantity of properly aged persimmon tannin.

Care

Professional dry clean only. Do not machine wash, tumble dry, scrub, or use chemical detergents. Avoid bleach and alcohol-based sprays. Remove surface dust gently and iron only on a low setting. Keep away from open flame and high heat.

For covered outdoor or semi-outdoor installation, protect the curtain from direct rain, prolonged moisture, strong sunlight, and extreme weather.

Handmade Character

Variations in dye depth, weave, texture, natural edges, motif outlines, and panel alignment are inherent to handwoven and plant-dyed ramie.

These irregularities reflect the natural rhythm of the weaving and dyeing process. Each Pumpkin Noren is individually made and one of a kind.
