Summary: USEFUL!!!
Comment: A very useful book for anyone considering building their own Shoji Screen or just wanting to know more about this subject. The images would have been better in colour but still a useful book, clear easy to follow step by step guide.

Summary: Comprehensive guide to design & construction of shoji
Comment: Shoji are the paper paneled wooden lattice screens that are an integral part of traditional Japanese architecture. This book offers comprehensive coverage of the design and construction of Shoji screens.

The main focus is on actually building Shoji. Detailed sections on wood, paper, and tools prepare the craftsman for the projects. Design, joinery and assembly instructions follow.

The theory and functionality of Shoji in transmitting light are explained. Examples in Japanese homes as well as adaptations in Western architecture are shown.

There are several small individual project ideas included to get started. Lists of paper and tool sources are very helpful.
