A kichō (几帳?) is a portable multi-paneled silk partition supported by a two-rod T-pole.[1] It came into use in aristocratic households during and following the Heian period in Japan[2] when it became a standard piece of furniture.[3] They are similar in appearance to noren.
The kichō is often placed just on the inside of bamboo blinds, forming a portable double privacy barrier to the outside of the house. They are also used as portable room dividers inside the house.[4] Today, they are most often used as decorations or to hide boxes or other unsightly messes in a home.
In former times, they would often be used to hide noble women from public eyes when they visited shrines or temples, and to provide additional privacy for the women at home.[5] Smaller versions called sashikichō (差几帳?) were carried by the female attendants of a noble woman in order to hide her from public view while she traveled.
