'KITOTE', Shoji screens handcrafted with natural wood.

AIR SHOJI

AIR SHOJI

The combination of shoji and a wire system allows installation in places that were previously not possible.
By hanging the shoji, the range of usage widens, and it could be used as partition, wall decoration, or lighting shade.

4 size variations

BOLD LINE

In the "Bold Line", the stile/crosspiece/kumiko muntin/lattice pieces have the same thickness and depth measurements. Also,
we’ve pursued simple and elegant detail by eliminating levels for flatness to blend seamlessly with the modern architecture.

  • GRID LARGE

    GRID LARGE size The standard square grid design fits any space.
  • DIAMOND

    DIAMOND size Design with a sharp impression, expressing beautiful lines that diagonally intersect at 45-degree angles.
  • STRIPE

    STRIPE size A simple stripe design that could be rotated vertically and horizontally for enjoying arrangements.
  • SLASH BOLD

    SLASH BOLD size A simple diagonal pattern that can produce various expressions by rotating.
  • MULTI STRIPE

    MULTI STRIPE size The combination of vertical and horizontal stripes creates a pleasing movement in your space.
  • LEAF

    LEAF size A natural and warm design representing plants with random diagonal lines.

SLIM LINE

For the Slim Line, we aspired to present the elegance of kumiko/lattice and used a thinner wood
of 6mm rather than the conventional 8mm used on common shoji screens.
Shoji that maximizes the delicate technique of latticework will pleasantly decorate the space.

  • RHYTHM

    RHYTHM size Adds rhythm in the space by having stripes in a steppingstone like manner in the lattice.

  • GRADATION SMALL

    GRADATION SMALL size Creates depth in the space with beautiful delicate shadows.
  • MOON

    MOON size A classic shoji design while capturing modern taste will accentuates the space.
  • ARGYLE

    ARGYLE size A pattern developed from an Argyle pattern will create an elegant atmosphere.
  • CORNER RANDOM

    CORNER RANDOM size It is designed with asymmetrically intersecting lines, which could be rotated for changing placement.

COLLABORATION LINE

The “Collaboration Line” is literally a collaborative project b etween the technology of KITOTE and the expression of an artist . The first in this line is the joint-work with an artist of Plotter Drawing t echnique, Mr. Hiromasa Fukaji.
A group of work we call the “Kei “ series depicts images of the outside world seen through shoji screens from the inside.
The shoji screen is regarded as the boundary between the inner world and the outer world, and an abstract image of “nature” is projected. *For customers who use multiple pieces, we have other patterns specifically for repeat use. Please inquire us for details.
