Shoji screen paper repair and replacement Its time to replace the shoji screens down stairs. It was trial and error and a lot of patients. If you take your time you can replace your screens cheaply and still do a great job. Its cool you can get all kinds of prints here and I went with a light bamboo pattern. Of course having a shoji master do it is better but since they get wrecked after a few years I wanted to save money and learn how myself. The master will do a great job and they turn out tight like a drum head but mine came out great and after the first two I got the rest done really fast as the learning curve progressed. I had a few minor wrinkles and they do not come out as tight as a glue job by a master but it looks great! It cost me 4000 yen including the plastic slide rail tape for all the screens total including one mistake. One roll usually does two full size doors. The iron on paper I used is more resistant to stains and dirt due to the fact it has synthetic material in it and it comes of with a heated iron later with far less clean up, however there are may types of iron paper and glue on papers available. I did six units for that price, two window panels and four doors. It took me half the day but next time its only going to take a few hours. Cleaning the glue off was the hardest part but that also went faster as I developed my own technique. The iron on type that I used is a fairly recent development in the shoji world. At least that's what Japanese people ...

See. Men do iron.
WOW. Thank you so much!
You sound like kipkay when you are behind the camera.
@nwatkins18 warm water is enough to remove old glue. Moisture in the air is not enough but if you had left your screens exposed to rain by leaving the glass door open then yes you may have some problems with the paper. I replaced the traditional style paper with a synthetic type that is stronger and resistant to moisture/wetness but has the same filtering characteristics.
if it’s so sensitive to heat, wouldn’t the muggy summers make the shoji paper fall off?
cute girl
makes the job go a litle nicer hey

コオブアレヨウインジャパンイヨウアレエンィ？/cool but why are you in japan if you are english?
Reminds me of the shoji screens on shogun, the tv series
MAN i wanna live there I like their houses and your vids thanks!
Looks like you build a nice house , and with you video you show us
how to make ones too
Sieht aus als baust du dir da ein echt tolles Haus , und mit diesem video
zeigst du uns wie wir das auch können.
hehe, love all the “now it says don’t do this but I’m going to”. gaijin style! I’ll do what the hell I want!
Is Expensive buy a house like that? In dollars?
A little house, I dont want a palace
cool man, i bet you could get a renovation/building job in japan if you wanted, or maybe you already do i dunno.
I also love the way you did precisely what you were told not to do 3x and it turns out perfect.
I really love ur new videos , but I always wonder, how come the houses in Japan and some countries like USA, r built with wood ? how come they don’t fall down due to the heavy furniture?
100 vids!
Drunk people comming over!! Best believe it!! LOL
Great video! So, lemme ask you this. Being that Japan is so environmentally conscious, what do you do with the bucket of water when you’re done wiping the wood? Do you have to dump it in a specific place, just down the drain, or do you dump it in the street? Just curious.
Agreed, these videos are great, Just wish i could stay in Japan for a while. I love there way life.
Looks like you did a pretty good job there.
Pretty cool. I like the sweeping ending!!! LOL!!
