Masao Dan Residence
The house's fifth noren has an image of the rising moon. The special hemp cloth is difficult to dye with anything besides indigo blue. Since many of the noren in the neighborhood have indigo blue in them, they used the dye sparingly and the original color of the fabric shows in many places.
Because it's difficult to work with wide pieces of this cloth, the noren is made from nine long and thin pieces. Many people stop to admire and take pictures of this unique noren. |
