Yoshihiro Okada Residence
This noren's design comes from Mt. Daisen in Tottori Prefecture. Mr. & Mrs. Okada's hobby is
mountain climbing, and they often climb their favorite mountain. The family asked Yoko Kano for
a design based on a photograph of Mt. Daisen's north face in the light of the sunset. The north and
south faces of the mountain are very similar, so their noren can be seen in two ways. It could
represent sunset on the north side of the mountain or sunrise on the opposite side. They want to
have more noren with similar designs in the future. |
