bamboo curtain

Bamboo curtains, especially those hanging at the door or window, are a type of bamboo weaving craft.

During the Tang Dynasty in China, the production of bamboo curtains was introduced to Korea and Japan. In the Edo period, Tokyo bamboo curtains became famous due to the ukiyo-e prints by Kitagawa Utamaro. In 1983, Japanese Edo curtains were designated as a traditional craft of Tokyo.

In 2013, Korea's bamboo curtain craftsmanship - known as "najeongsa" - was designated as Important Intangible Cultural Heritage No.114 by the Cultural Heritage Administration of Korea.
