These screens look lovely as a soft light backdrop, place them in an unlit area with a small light behind for a lovely effect.

All folding screens are handmade in Australia. Screens are made using traditional Japanese methods"Kumiko".
The screen is single sided as per Japanese construction.
The fabric used is not the traditional Japanese paper but a more durable fabric obtained in Australia. The fabric is thicker and more durable for western use.
If you are looking for something Japanese ,,,,, this is for you...

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.
