Shoji papers are thin, translucent, translucent white or natural-colored Japanese papers that are mainly used for covering lattice frames, screens and sliding shoji doors. Shoji papers diffuse and distribute the light from lamps beautifully, making it easy and inexpensive to create large lighting objects. Despite their high translucency, shoji papers are largely opaque. Shoji papers are glued to wooden frames with a removable natural tapioca-based starch paste and then lightly moistened. They then stretch themselves as they dry.

KOZO shoji papers are natural-colored, very high-quality shoji papers made from pure natural material. The kozo fibers are extracted by hand from the inner bark of the kozo bush (paper mulberry tree), processed and sorted. The long and strong mulberry fibers give the KOZO shoji paper the classic cloud-like unryu fiber structure and an amazing strength and toughness.

KOZO Unryu shoji papers are classic shoji papers that have been produced in virtually the same way for many centuries. Although KOZO papers are now produced in rolls on a paper machine, they have retained their handmade, natural character. They are particularly well-suited for traditionally Japanese-style interiors and classic tea rooms.

In addition to covering high-quality shoji sliding doors and screens, shoji papers made from mulberry fibers can also be used for beautiful lampshades, calligraphy, printing and a wide variety of handicrafts.
