Kurenai - 2023 Calendar Japanese Noren Panel - Blue

Beautiful panel from Japan on indigo/navy blue colored 100% cotton fabric.

Why buy an old calendar? Because it's great for making coasters, quilt blocks, appliquéing onto clothes... all the things! The manufacturer offers these to us at a discount once they are past their prime, and we love to reuse them.
Each of the 12 blocks features a traditional motif such as Japanese flowers blooming in season, koi, rabbits, temari, and more. Subtle gold details make it extra special.
In case you're wondering what it says at the top, it's noting that 2023 is the fifth year of the Reiwa era. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/apr/01/reiwa-how-japans-new-era-name-is-breaking-tradition

Sold by the panel 19" wide x 44" long.
This is probably too narrow for a full door covering, so please measure your doorway if you intend to use it as a door noren.
Use as a narrow noren (door curtain), quilt feature, or sew the edges and hang on the wall.
