Paper Door

Oct. 17, 2005

Img_3472 I have paper doors ("shoji" in Japanese)in my flat. The two doors facing to the south had been torn especially at the bottom for quite a while. I thought of fixing it by myself and bought the paper and glue. But I couldn’t believe that I could do it 😉 A friend at work told me she asked Silver Human Resources Centers (retired people register themselves as a worker skilled there) to do it. It’s usually cheaper than professional shops.

I tired the same thing and it was very efficient. I called them last Thursday and an old guy came to my flat on Sunday. It was very interesting to see what he was doing. I wouldn’t have been able to do it! I couldn’t even take the paper door off when I tried before.He was very skillful. Two doors were fixed in two hours.

The paper doors are very white and beautiful. I’m enjoying being in the Japanese room looking at the nice doors : )

Unfortunately, the picture is not showing how beautiful it is now.
