A blind which allows the space underneath either desired end of its head rail to be opened by folding louvers beginning with the one at the desired end by a simple operation. A louver is hung from each one of a plurality of carriers that can move within a head rail and, among the carriers, the carrier arranged closest to the first end a of the head rail constitutes a first master carrier, and the carrier arranged closest to the second end of the head rail constitutes a second master carrier. By manipulating a first operating device, the first master carrier is moved toward the second end of the head rail to open the space underneath the first end, and by manipulating a second operating device, the second master carrier moved toward the first end of the head rail to open the space underneath the second end.
