Shoji and Kumiko Design: The Basics - Desmond King
With its history of nearly a thousand years, shoji - translucent paper-backed sliding doors and screens - are an inherent part of Japanese tradition and culture. In this book, Des King examines basic shoji making and design. But their beauty and charm can equally be adapted to rooms in a Western home.
He gives comprehensive background information about shoji and how they have evolved, and detailed step-by-step instructions, supported by many diagrams and photographs, on how to make three shoji with progressively more complex kumiko arrangements, and variations on structure and joinery.
