It was a song everyone knew. One day, my daughter, who goes to nursery school, was playing this song with my wife.
At first I didn't pay any attention to it, but when I listened closely, the lyrics were quite strange.
Drawn to the magical sound, I decided to make this noren.
There's so much fun to be found in the ordinary things of everyday life, and when I discover it, I'm overjoyed.
About the material
Fabric name: Kiheiaso
Both the warp and weft yarns are hand-spun ramie.
The unbleached beige and brown natural colors of ramie are woven in a wood-grain pattern.
Kiheiaso is a raw hemp fabric that features the unique crispness of hemp and a natural texture with unevenness that, combined with the wood-grain pattern, makes it truly stand out.
Washing instructions
・Ink dyeing is susceptible to friction, so do not rub it.
・Do not wash in a washing machine.
・If it gets partially dirty, gently dab the dirty area with a damp cloth to remove the dirt.
・If it gets entirely dirty, fill a bathtub with enough water to fully immerse the noren, dissolve a neutral detergent in the water, and soak it to wash.
Everything is handmade.
Please note that the color of the fabric and the detailed sizing may differ from the photos.

●●● Dyeing in daily life ●●●
We aim to create works that add a touch of accent to everyday life.
We hope that by interacting with Yotsume's dyed fabrics, you'll feel refreshed, and your daily life will become a little brighter.
Using dyeing techniques such as Katazome (stencil dyeing) and Tsutsugaki (freehand paste-resist dyeing),
Most of the processes are done by hand.
Hand-dyed fabrics have a unique "ambiguity" that cannot be achieved by machines.
The lines may be slightly blurry, or the pattern may be slightly misaligned.
While this is unintentional,
This "ambiguity" is somehow interesting and conveys the warmth of human hands.
We want to create such fabrics.

[About the Noren Rod Opening] At Yotsume Somefusya, we sew the top edge approximately 10cm down when laid flat. We use bamboo poles, available at home centers, for the noren rods. These are usually 1cm to 3cm in diameter, which we believe offers the best balance with the noren. |
