    Living in Japan, I don't see shoji much this days. It's a shame; it gives wonderful diffused light in a room.
    Maybe you know this already but since it tears fairly regularly, there is also a real art in repairing it. Instead of completely replacing the torn area, they use shoji patches in the shapes of flowers or leaves. The repaired area then adds it's own subtle beauty to it.

      This reminds me of Kintsugi, which if you don't know already, is a japanese technique for repairing broken pottery. Instead of trying to glue it back together seamlessly, they use gold on the seams to create a beautiful object! I like this concept, making it more beautiful be showcasing the repair sort of!

      They make things better through repairing them. Like their broken bowls with Kintsugi. Where the cracks are all glued together with gold, it's so beautiful.

      You might think about dampening the paper with a mist. Has the same effect, and will certainly take out wrinkles!
      That 'shoji ' paper was lacking in texture. You should be able to find something similar but with 'texture' , whether it's from petals, or the making of it.

      The Japanese have a Wari-Keshiki, i.e. a splitting gauge, adopted from the Chinese that is totally adjustable for thickness and depth of cut. It's not much more difficult to build than a conventional pin or knife marking gauge. I imagine a luthier uses a similar tool.

    Stick the shoji paper with starch paste.
    Then, you can refill shoji paper just by wetting it with water.
    After applying, spray the water evenly over the paper with a spray, and slowly dry it indoors to create a beautifully stretched state with no wrinkles.

    It worked super well ! It tensions the paper, which become very tight against the wooden frame, no sag whatsoever. He told me hair dryer can be used to speed up the process or simple let it air dry . Both methods worked for me. Hope thiis helps!

    Pretty awesome video. Love it. It’s nice to see how this was made with a lot of detail and care.
    I will now point out a weak point in this built, which by no way is meant to be attacking the creator here. I love this video. Don’t get me wrong. Thank you.
    One practical problem though, and you will only really realize this when living in Japan WITH KIDS!
    How do you replace the paper when it rips, breaks or was destroyed by kids?
    ... See the problem? The way the second layer of wood was screwed above/onto the window paper prevents easy replacement of it. That’s why all/most households in Japan do not do this!!! Instead they just glue on the paper on the initial wooden frame and leave it like that.
    Then, in case a child rips through the paper (for whatever reason) the paper can be easily replaced. Just tear it if, sand it over once and glue in a new paper.
    Soooo, from a practical point of view from someone who lives in Japan with kids and has rooms with this kind of window paper, it is not practical at all the way you made it - in every day usage with kids.
    But ignoring all of that: awesome built and I like it a lot. Great job!!!
    And please correct me if I missed something and my comment doesn’t make sense. I am eager to learn. Thank you.
    Edit: feel free to reply in German, as I am a German living in Japan - with Japanese wife and kids for the last decade. Vielen Dank.
