Shoji Screen Sliding Doors

18 photos

A shoji screen divides a room without darkening it: the translucent panels pass daylight as a soft, even glow while hiding what lies behind. These slide beside tatami mats, low wooden tables and floor cushions, sometimes under exposed beams. The same screens share rooms with a grey fabric sofa and a black wood-burning stove, so they travel well.
