Menko (Kitty and Crow) Series - 09

Kitty and Crow Series 09
All entrances to restaurants in Japan have curtains called noren.  Noren are traditionally used by shops and restaurants as a means of protection from sun, wind, and dust, and for displaying a shop's name or logo (Wikipedia).  I was quite fond of them when I lived in Japan (1983-85) and purchased several for decorative purposes.  I wonder where I have put them now?  Maybe I sold them in a garage sale long ago.

I love the way the attitude of the crow spells out the mood. Here the smug cat and the crow's leaning down seems to read the crow is anxious... Nice.
