Image was scanned from color slide. Note: "The Mingei Foundation (later Museum) that specialized in the showing of decorative folk arts held its first exhibition "Mingei: Folk Art of Japan" in the Fine Arts Gallery of San Diego from January 1 to May 1, 1977."--Balboa Park History website. Note: "In 1978, Trustees changed the name of the Fine Arts Gallery of San Diego to The San Diego Museum of Art."--San Diego Museum of Art website. Note: "Noren are traditional Japanese fabric dividers, hung between rooms, on walls, in doorways, or in windows. They usually have one or more vertical slits cut from the bottom to nearly the top of the fabric, allowing for easier passage or viewing. Noren are rectangular and come in many different materials, sizes, colors, and patterns. Noren are traditionally used by shops and restaurants as a means of protection from sun, wind, and dust, and for advertising space. They are also hung in the front entrance to a shop to signify that the establishment is open for business, and they are always taken down at the end of the business day."--Wikipedia. |
