SIGN UPShoji is a male name of Japanese origin that means "Proper, Heal, Peace, Happiness." In traditional Japanese architecture, shoji refers to doors, windows, or room dividers consisting of translucent or transparent sheets on a lattice frame. These lightweight panels are easily slid aside or stored, allowing the room to open up to other spaces. Shoji are valued for their ability to allow natural light to diffuse into the interior, while also providing visual privacy and encouraging a soft, graceful atmosphere. Historically, they have been integral to various architectural styles, such as shoin-zukuri and sukiya-zukuri, and are commonly used in both traditional and Western-style Japanese houses. The name Shoji reflects the significance of these elements in traditional Japanese living spaces, embodying the qualities of properness, healing, peace, and happiness.
