SHOJI CONSTRUCTION

Despite their complex function within the home, shoji are of eminently simple construction. A lightweight wooden frame consisting of horizontal "rails" and vertical "stiles"supports a lattice of thin sticks, called KUMIKO in Japanese. Paper or other translucent sheeting material is attached to the back(outside) of the lattice. A shoji may be single layer of kumiko with the paper glued onto the back, or a sandwich type with two layers of kumiko and the paper in between. This double lattice show the grid from both sides, and is popular in the West, where it seems more "finished". In Japan, most shoji are single sided, one explanation for this being that a shoji is like a human head: it has only one face and one backside.
