This cotton wedding Kaga noren, a split doorway curtain, showcases sumi-e painting featuring Mount Fuji. The pine symbolizes longevity, while the mandarin crane represents good fortune and a long life. Mount Fuji holds significance for Buddhists as a symbol of meditation, with its summit referred to as "zenjo," describing a state of perfect meditation. Additionally, Buddhists regarded Mount Fuji as the abode of the Buddha of All-Illuminating Wisdom.
Measuring 51 inches in width by 66 inches in height (130 cm x 168 cm), this wedding curtain typically bears the groom's family crest. On the wedding day, it's hung in front of the groom's family Buddhist room for one to two weeks. When the bride passes through it, she must bow, symbolizing her respect for her new husband and his family, regardless of her background. This act of bowing signifies her obedience to Buddha and the groom's family.
