Osawa Residence
This noren is sprinkled with fallen autumn leaves. The original design featured many more, but
their number was reduced after speaking with Yoko Kano. The silhouettes of those missing leaves are still visible, and give the impression of a deep cover of leaves. Their first noren has a design based on the family's favorite green bamboo. They put out a carved bamboo display during the
Hina Doll Festival every year. Both noren and green bamboo fade, but the fading often adds to
their beauty. |
