Interior & Architecture
THE JAPANESE SHOJI DOOR


 
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.

Much in the traditional architecture of Japan is not native, but was imported from China and other Asian cultures over the centuries. Japanese traditional architecture and its history are as a consequence dominated by Chinese and Asian techniques and styles

The interior of the building normally consists of a single room at the center called moya, from which depart any other less important spaces.
