Hanayome Noren are beautiful curtains that have customarily been used in weddings in this region of Japan for about a centuryand a half. On the wedding day, one is hung at the entrance to the Buddhist altar room in the husbandʼs familyʼs home, and thenthe bride makes her entrance through the curtain. This museum features a collection of Hanayome Noren curtains from the past
century and a half, and visitors can dress up in a bridal kimono to try passing through one of these curtains for themselves.
