Written in Japanese: 障子
In traditional Japanese architecture, a shōji is a door, window or room divider consisting of translucent paper over a frame of wood which holds together a lattice of wood or bamboo. While washi is the traditional paper, shōji may be made of paper made by modern manufacturing processes; plastic is also in use.
Shōji doors are often designed to slide open, and thus conserve space that would be required by a swinging door. They are used in traditional houses as well as Western-style housing, especially in the washitsu (Japanese-style room). In modern construction, the shōji does not form the exterior surface of the building; it sits inside a sliding glass door or window. Formerly the word shōji could apply to both fusuma and shōji although with a formal distinction of "karagami shōji" (usuma) and "akari shōji" (hōji).
A shoji makes a beautiful addition to any room in which you want to create a visual divider that is not permanent. It does not matter if your room decor is oriental or not because shoji screens come in many designs, widths, heights, colors, and construction.
These room dividers fit right into any room and bring with it the ability to keep the room well lit because the screen part of a shoiji is made from paper so therefore the sun light (or artificial light) is not blocked as it would be with a permanent divider. So brighten up your house with one of these attrative screens and get a great discount because you will be making your purchase through a secure Amazon shopping cart.
