All shoji screens are carefully hand-crafted at Japan Woodworking and Design, and the production is overseen by master craftsman, Jimmy Maekawa, one of the few remaining first generation Japanese shoji designers in the San Francisco Bay Area.
His art delivers a rich blend of Japanese tradition, simplicity, and modern features for any environment including home, office, or restaurant.

Japan Woodworking and Design shoji screens elegantly partition the main restaurant floor from the private dining room.

"Black-bordered tatami mats greet you as you move from the tea room into a private meditation room. Shoji screens allow the room, with its smaller proportions, to be closed off from the main room."
