- Window and Light
Treatments using shoji screens and ceiling treatments
are shown on this page. In the traditional Japanese
home, the ceiling has often been ignored for utilitarian
reasons. Dramatic ceilings can still be created using
bamboo poles and wicker latticework, work, as seen in the
photo at the bottom of this page. By working with
natural lighting and window and patio treatments, shoji screen
designs have been employed to create dramatic entranceways to
patios, rooftops and balconies.
