LXXXIV - Tokyo
Noren (暖簾) are traditional Japanese fabric curtains with slits (to make passing through them easier) hung in doorways or in windows. They are usually used by restaurants and shops to protect the entrance from sun, rain, wind or dust, and to advertise their wares. Their presence means the shop/ restaurant is open, as they are always pulled down at the end of the day.
