Japanese shoji and washitsu paper: a washitsu is a traditional Japanese room that is specifically designed for everyday living activities. The term "washitsu" literally translates to "Japanese room." It is a dedicated space for activities such as relaxation, meditation, the tea ceremony, calligraphy or painting practice, and informal receptions.
The washitsu is distinguished from other rooms in a Japanese house by certain characteristic elements. Here are some common features of the washitsu:
Tatami: The floor of the washitsu is generally covered with tatami, which are woven straw mats covered with rice straw or rush. Tatami are soft and comfortable for sitting, lying down, or practicing floor-based activities.
Shoji: Shoji are sliding partitions made of kozo paper mounted on a wooden frame. They allow for the division of space and let natural light pass through. Shoji are often adorned with traditional patterns.
Fusuma: Fusuma are sliding partitions made of wood covered with paper or fabric. Unlike shoji, fusuma are opaque and serve to separate different rooms within the washitsu.
Tokonoma: The tokonoma is a decorative alcove located in the washitsu. It is often used to display art objects, such as calligraphy, prints, or floral 1  arrangements.
Zabuton and Zaisu: Zabuton are thick and soft cushions used for sitting on tatami. Zaisu are legless chairs that allow one to sit in the Japanese style, with legs crossed underneath.
The washitsu embodies the Japanese aesthetic and philosophy of simplicity, harmony with nature, and respect for traditions. It is a space that promotes 2  peace of mind and connection with Japanese culture and traditional practices. Today, although many modern homes prefer Western lifestyles, some still maintain a washitsu in their house to preserve cultural heritage and enjoy the unique atmosphere it offers
