I see beautiful, simple room dividers with paper screens in Japanese interiors. What is the traditional name for those Japanese partitions?
You're likely thinking of Shoji (障子). These are traditional sliding or folding partitions made of translucent paper (washi) stretched over a wooden grid. They are designed to diffuse soft, natural light while providing visual privacy within a room. They are a hallmark of Japanese interior design.
- Main Feature: Paper screens on a wooden frame.
- Function: Creates light, airy room divisions and privacy without blocking light entirely.
