The construction of shoji, Japanese sliding doors, requires intricate skill and close attention to detail. This guide brings together traditional insight and technical mastery from the perspective of an apprenticed sliding door maker. Step by step instructions, illustrated with 200 black and white photographs and 30 line drawings, cover how to construct both common shoji and Japanese transoms, the decorative panels found between rooms and above sliding doors. Correct use of Japanese tools is discussed throughout, along with techniques for marking lines, cutting specific joints, making handles, using rice glue, and applying shoji paper.

Very prompt delivery every time Ive placed an order. I would recommend them to anyone.
Great product! Just as described by the seller.
Great Service as always, love these.
The whole experience with the team at Aus Maker Supplies has been amazing! They suggested the belts that will best fit my required jobs, with very fast responses. And when I accidentally put the wrong address in they redirected it free of charge for me. Thank you so much !
One of two Google reviews I've ever posted: Great stock and pricing combined with excellent customer service. Highly recommend. On ya Tim!
Nice belts to have in the toolbox. They let you get into radiuses that are otherwise tricky.
These belts are just the thing for budding knife makers and they are also great for removing skin from the fingertips when you get things completely wrong. I'm mending nicely and the belt is none the worse for the encounter. I give them a solid A plus!
Great service as always, belts really move metal.
My order was delivered very quickly and well packaged. The personal touch that Tim provides is a welcome bonus. Thanks Tim!

Fantastic product for our knife re-handling project! The website is really easy to navigate, with excellent images and information on all available products. Delivery time was super quick and we loved the hand-written note and lollies included in the package :)
