SEIGAIHA TS103 Shoji paper white, wavy pattern

pure white, thin and highly translucent shoji paper with wave pattern, 2-fold tear resistance

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 or fluorescent tubes beautifully, so that they can be used to create large lighting objects easily and inexpensively. 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.

The TS series of shoji papers are pure white, affordable shoji papers with twice the tear resistance (compared to the most basic shoji papers made from pulp and viscose fibers).

Due to the addition of approx. 20% polyester fibers, they not only have higher strength values compared to simple shoji papers, but also react less to fluctuations in humidity. They therefore lose less tension in humid climates. In addition, papers with synthetic fiber content are relatively tear-resistant even when wet. These properties make TS Shoji papers easy to process. Despite their low grammage, they are very robust and can also be used for covering somewhat larger individual surfaces.

TS Shoji paper is ideal as Japanese paper for lampshades, light-filtering ceiling panels, and for covering shoji sliding doors and screens.
