| This Shoji was not Akari-shoji (a translucent screen or sliding door made by pasting single sheets of white Washi (Japanese paper) on light wooden frames, or sometimes on bamboo frames) as seen at present but a movable set-in board wall pasted silk cloth, which was set in as Shitsurai (room decorations) as the occasion might demand. |
この障子は、今日の明かり障子ではなく、絹布を貼った可動式の嵌め込み式の板壁で室礼（しつらい）として用いられ、時に応じて設置されるものであった。 |
