Shoji意思

"Shoji" is a Japanese word that typically refers to a type of traditional Japanese sliding door or window that is made of translucent paper stretched over a frame of wood. These doors and windows are an important feature of Japanese architecture and design, and they are known for their simplicity, elegance, and ability to let light into a space while maintaining privacy.

Shoji screens are often used to divide rooms in traditional Japanese homes, as well as in temples and other buildings. They are typically lightweight and easy to move, which makes them practical as well as aesthetically pleasing. The paper used in shoji screens is usually washi, a type of Japanese paper that is strong and durable, but also allows light to pass through it in a soft, diffused way.

In addition to their use in doors and windows, shoji screens are also used as room dividers, as screens for privacy, and as decorative elements in both traditional and modern Japanese interiors. They are often painted or left unpainted, and can be made in various sizes and shapes to fit different spaces.
