The answer is.....

The new noren curtain (^-^)b

Me and Tomoe found this noren curtain on our way back home
one day in Asakusa and bought it for the hostel.
What is painted on it is the old view of Sensoji Temple of Asakusa.

We have a pagoda on the left side of the Sensoji temple now.

But before everything was burnt down during the war, they had the pagoda
on the other side of the temple.
We heard this story from a gentleman who sold the curtain to us.
You can see the pagoda with its old position on old paintings like ukiyoe.
Our new curtain is one of them.
