Choosing the Best Paper for Shoji Screens

One of the most common questions we get asked is: “What paper should I use to make a Shoji screen?” We will answer this question and many more to help you decide which paper will make your Shoji screen match your style. A Shoji screen is a room divider that is made with a wooden frame with mullions for design and support. The wooden frame tightly stretches semi-translucent paper across the frame. The paper provides visual privacy. The translucency of the paper allows light through but blocks obvious visual detail from one side of the screen to the other. These screens are used for both decoration and for function to divide a room, or section off an area where privacy is needed.
