The “noren” curtains outside Daigokuden, a sweets shop in downtown Kyoto, are changed half a dozen times a year in accordance with seasonal or festive activity. What historically set Kyoto apart when it came to textile production was the availability of different colors of dye, which in turn attracted weavers and dyers and helped establish a nascent textile center in the city. Production has survived until this day, most notably in the labor-intensive production of kimono. (J.J. O’Donoghue photo) #noren #Japan #Kyoto #のれん #京都 #大極殿 #祇園祭 #伝統 #日本文化
