One-of-a-kind Noren panel pieced together from thoughfully sourced OZMA fabric remnants by artist Niki Tsukamoto. From Niki —

The concept behind this work is developed from the original mythology arising from the Three Kingdoms Period (57 BC–668 AD) in Korea. The idea existed then that anything wrapped inside this bojagi style cloth was kept safe and would bring the receiver good luck. This belief imparted a practical magic to the simple patched cloth, the creator’s concern and respect for the receiver stitched directly into the cloth. This resonated very deeply with me as my art practice is rooted in craft and ritual; so the work places a focus not on exacting technique, but on imbuing the items in our life with a sense of magic and purpose. The intention is to create a reassuring touchstone through fabric instilled with mythology and magic, consciously binding trust and love with each stitch.

Can be hung singly, or paired together.  Flat felled seaming makes each panel completely reversible.
