New noren curtains and tenugui added

Hello and Welcome to www.nipponcraft.com,

We have added new design noren curtains and tenugui hand towels.

Based on the past Q&A from customers, we would like to add some explanations that every noren door curtain is equipped with a rod pocket that allows going through 2cm-3cm diameter curtain rod. We hope you can get an adjustable length curtain rod or bar at home depot, but we also sell a plastic noren rod that is adjustable between 79cm - 105cm (31"-41") for your convenience. The rod we sell is separated in two for easing delivery, and please joint them together and rotate one side to adjust the length to the hallway or door width.
Another notice from us is that a noren curtain is just a cloth hanging, so you cannot bunch up the noren curtain at the curtain rod edge just like a soft window curtain. You need to pull up the noren curtain over the rod, for example when you clean the room.

New Furoshiki wrapping cloth and silk mufflers added

Hello and Welcome to www.nipponcraft.com,

We have added new design furoshki wrappings on our shopping page. They are made of rayon, and the rayon is woven by the traditional method called 'chirimen'. Chirimen techniques turns rayon into durable and luxury fabric close to silk. In spite of the luxury touch, the price of rayon furoshiki is four or five times less expensive than silk products. This time, we have selected flower designs, mainly sakura trees. These furoshiki will be nice for home decor, small coffee table mat, and also for fashion.


New products










Also, we have added new silk mufflers produced by a silk chirimen weaver in Kyoto. They are very smooth, thin and elegant, suitable for wearing at a party or at a concert. By the way, mufflers are western fashion items, but Kimono men and women still wear them in Japan..We call mufflers 'erimaki' literally neck rounding.
