This charming two-panel noren (shop or room divider) from Japan dates to the late Showa period (1975–1990). Measuring 24 inches by 36 inches (61 cm x 91 cm), the textile is made from a sturdy, rustic cotton with a warm ochre or tobacco-toned ground. The design features a vertical sequence of three large, cream-colored teardrop or "jewel" shapes on each panel, created using a crisp resist-dyeing technique.
At the heart of each teardrop is a delicate, circular medallion containing a stylized floral motif. The flowers are rendered in a soft palette of sage green and slate blue, with the petals and leaves defined by fine white outlines. This combination of bold geometric shapes and intricate botanical details is characteristic of late 20th-century Japanese textile design, which often blended traditional folk aesthetics with a modern, graphic sensibility. The piece is in very good condition.
