Making Orosi

Orosi is a kind of door or window which is grille and wooden and there are small and colorful reticules within the big ones. Making Orosi was common in last Qajar and first Pahlavi reign, but after that it was obsoleted since it wasn’t cost-effective.
Karim Pirniya says “Orosi is a kind of grille wooden door which was opened to the yard”. Unlike public perception he thinks that the art of making Orosi was not brought from Russia and the older kind of Orosis were found in Iranian buildings and paintings. I agree to Mr. Pirniya because I suppose that Orosi was in Iran even in Safavi reign but it is not possible that it could be here before Saljoogian reign.
Kurdistan is the capital of Orosis of Iran. Sanandaj is known to the city of Orosis and you can find a lot of masters of wood and Orosi making there. In Sanandaj Orosis are everywhere and there are different kinds of them; from small and ordinary Orosis to big and complicated ones in which Chinese ties are repeated in different size and in 24 numbers. It is strange why Kurdish people were interested a lot in Orosis and instead of wall they put Orosis all around. The fantastic thing is that the number of their doors is always odd; three, five, seven or nine doors.
The glaze and coating of the doors were different on dependent of where they would be placed whether they would be placed in outdoor or indoor rooms or in front of the sun. Overall, their work was perfect and skillful.
When I think about Iran, always the thought of my home town, Isfahan, come to my mind. In Isfahan, you can find a lot of Orosis too, and again the name of them are Orosi. But primitive people of Isfahan say Orosi to shoe and slippers, too and they call shoemaker, Orosi dooz. These two words are similar to each other and often are pronounced the same and I’m sure that Orosi in the meaning of shoe is not just used in Isfahan.
