Shoji (Sliding paper door)

A Shoji is a traditional Japanese sliding door made of a lightweight wooden frame covered with translucent paper. It functions as a room divider or window, allowing soft natural light to filter through while maintaining privacy. Shoji doors slide smoothly on tracks, saving space and creating an open, airy feel in a room. They are valued for their aesthetic simplicity, craftsmanship, and ability to connect interior spaces with natural elements, embodying principles of harmony and minimalism in Japanese design.
