Noren (??) is a traditional Japanese cloth divider hanging between rooms, on walls, in the doorway, or in windows. They usually have one or more vertical slits that are cut from the bottom to almost the top of the fabric, allowing it to pass through or see more easily. Noren is square and has many different materials, sizes, colors and patterns.

Noren was originally used to protect the house from wind, dust, and rain, and to keep the house warm on cold days and provide shade on hot summer days. They can also be used for decorative purposes or to divide the room into two separate spaces.

Business
The noren exterior is traditionally used by stores and restaurants as a means of protection from sun, wind and dust, and to display store names or logos. Names are often Japanese characters, especially kanji, but may be mon emblems, Japanese boiled monograms, or abstract designs. Noren's designs are generally traditional to complement their relationship with traditional companies, but modern design also exists. The noren interior is often used to separate the dining area from the kitchen or other preparation areas, which also prevents the smoke or odor from escaping.
Since noren often displays store names or logos, a Japanese word can also refer to the company's brand value. Especially, in Japanese accounting, the word noren is used to describe the goodwill of a company after the acquisition.
Sent? (commercial baths) also put noren at their entrance, usually blue for men and red for women with kanji? (yu, lit. hot water) or appropriate hiragana? They are also hanged in front of the entrance to a shop to indicate that the establishment is opened for business, and they are always lowered at the end of the work day.
