Maple shoji screens bath doors

Maple shoji screens with Maple lower door panels and Chiri Warlon insert material.
The shoji are 35-3/8" x 95" x 1-3/8".
A centered book match on the panels, and a nicely proportionate Kumiko grid above. The panel height matches the adjacent countertop. The "Chiri" warlon is a rustic paper, with various inclusions of bark and straw.
Note the photo was taken with the left shoji having white cardboard behind, the right shoji has brown.  Chiri paper is good at concealing the darker background, and it is very effective at covering an un-lit space, like a closet or powder room, for this reason.
