Re:Chirimen | Kamon（Crest） – Noren. craft kyoto

Re:Chirimen — Bringing the Spirit of Sacred Spaces into Your Hands.

These Noren curtains and banners once adorned the sacred grounds of temples and shrines quietly watching over people's prayers and the changing seasons of Japan. The "Re:Chirimen" collection breathes new life into these fabrics after they have fulfilled their original sacred duties.

We use high-durability Chirimen (crepe) fabric originally chosen to withstand harsh wind snow and sunlight outdoors. Its vivid colors undimmed by the passage of time are a testament not only to the fabric's physical resilience but also to the strength of the wishes and prayers imbued within it.

We transform this "sacred cloth"—which would otherwise be discarded—into items that fit beautifully into modern living. We invite you to enjoy the unique texture and the woven stories of a fabric that has traveled through time.

Kamon: The Japanese Family Crest

"Kamon" are symbols passed down through generations to identify lineage. Originated by aristocrats and samurai, these designs are mostly stylized depictions of nature—flowers, plants, birds, and celestial bodies. Adding a Kamon transforms a noren into a personalized symbol of dignity and heritage.
