Portland Shoji Screen - Custom Artisan Made Fine Woodworking

Single Shoji Door (Shoji Screen) or Multiple Shoji Doors

Remember, Shoji aren’t just Japanese style doors. It’s simply a Japanese style partition. A Shoji door (often times referred to as a Shoji screen) or multiple Shoji doors can be combined to partition off any entry or exit. Lets take a look at a regular Shoji door (Shoji screen) – I worked on this in 2011:

Here is a picture of some of my Shoji doors at one of the restaurants at Google’s main headquarters in Mountain View, CA. Sorry about the image resolution, as it wasn’t a picture that I took.

Shoji as a Sliding Wall

Imagine getting a custom Japanese style, artisan made beautiful piece of fine woodworking and then using it as a sliding wall! Have you ever seen one of those? Well, here’s a Japanese Style (and yes, artisan made) sliding wall that I worked on, and installed, in 2015. Slide it off to the side to open up your space or close it up to create two separate spaces. I make these custom, to your specifications.

Shoji as a Room Divider

Yet another way to get privacy in any room is to put up some type of a wall. How about an artisan made Shoji to use as a room divider? Unfortunately, I don’t have any pictures to post of a Shoji room divider that I’ve worked on in the past, but essentially it is several custom, artisan made Shoji panels hinged together to create a partition or room divider. Heck, you can basically take any of several Shoji doors and hinge them together to make a room divider. Imagine using any of these artisan made Shoji doors to create your own room divider.
