Jump to: navigation, search

In Japanese architecture, fusuma are opaque vertical rectangles which can slide from side to side to redefine spaces within a room. They typically measure about 3 feet wide by 6 feet tall, and a few inches thick. Along with the fusuma, shoji (sheer, translucent paper room dividers) and tatami straw mats as the floor make up a typical Japanese tea room, along with many other traditional spaces in Japanese architecture.
