Thread: Shoji screens anybody?

I think there's been a discussion on these in the past. Try a search of the archives.

This book is very helpful in choosing materials design and construction methods:
"Shoji- How to design, Build and Install Japaneses Screens"
Author: Jay van Arsdale
Publisher:Kodansha International.



Hope this helps
If you cant find this book in Oz let me know.
