This is a Japanese noren or doorway curtain. It is used indoors in doorways with a tension rod. We use one in our downstairs to keep the heat out of our bedroom from our wood stove. It also lets our cats get into the room while still keeping privacy with the door open. So messy unmade beds are not seen and the cats can still roam freely. These noren can be use also to keep drafts down and flies out. I love that they are floating art you can use instead of a closed door. In New Orleans the old homes had these in every room for almost the same reasons. But I like these light washable Japanese ones more than the heavy velvet of the South.
