Noren Custom Order

Welcome to NipponCraft custom noren order website!
We will make customized noren curtains for Sushi, Ramen, Izakaya restaurants and for office with our experienced artisans. A shop noren is a "face" or eye-catcher for the business.

Our skilled artisans will print your logo/design on a noren with our traditional printing method "Hon-zome (本染)" if the logo complexity is within our craftsmanship. We can handcraft any size noren - very long noren and extra-wide noren are okay. We will propose a suitable fabric such as "Tenjiku (天竺)" cotton, "Toromat (トロマット)" thick polyester and Japanese-style hemp according to your design and budget. We can also make the noren fire-retardant for a kitchen.

The production time is approximately 10 working days in Japan.

For estimation, please "support@nipponcraft.com" with your logo image (JPEG/PDF), noren dimensions, and other wishes if any. We look forward to your contact. Thank you very much!

A custom noren price may be US$280 for our standard size (85cm X 150cm). We recommend noren size not very large because the cost for making a large noren gets very expensive. We recommend something like 100cm wide X 180cm high, 200cm wide X 40cm high.

Your design that is to be printed on the noren must exist for the estimate, because the printing cost largely depends on a design. If you don't have a noren design idea, we have many examples at Sushi noren examples and kitchen noren examples. We can incorporate them on your noren.

Also, noren photos in Kyoto just for your reference here in PDF.

The followings are the details of ordering and our technique.

We have the following printing methods and textile selections to make up a noren depending on design complexity-
#1: Traditional "Hon-zome" printing (double-sided) on cotton (for a simple design like family crest / calligraphy)
#2: Orthodox silkscreen on colored fabric (for a simpler design) color samples
#3: Dye-sublimation on polyester (for a detailed design)

Please check each textile and printing look in this picture (pdf).
DISCLAIMER: This picture is for your reference only. We cannot show 100% accurate looking, thickness, hardness and softness of the noren textile through pictures.

*Note 1: A noren will be either one-side printed or double-sided (a mirror image on the backside) depending upon your design and wish.
*Note 2: The logo, design and colors need to be presented from a customer.
*Note 3: A rod pocket for hanging the noren will be sewed on the top. We have two styles for a rod pocket - one is a an enclosed slot type and the other is a loop type . We will recommend you the type, but you can still select the type by your preference.
*Note 4: Please prepare a noren rod (curtain pole) on your side. A noren pole does NOT come with a noren. We wish you will find a suitable one at a home depot in your country.
*Note 5: Gold foil printing is very difficult. It is very hard for noren artisans to print your logo in gold. Sorry for the inconvenience.
