Do you know what to call this in Japanese?
These are called Shouji and there are many Shoji screens on Demon Slayer comic.
In this article, I'll explain about Shouji.
What is Shouji
"障子" (sho u ji) refers to traditional Japanese sliding doors or screens made of a wooden frame covered with paper. These screens are used in Japanese homes to partition spaces, allowing light to filter through while maintaining privacy. They are an important element of traditional Japanese architecture and interior design, contributing to the aesthetic and functional aspects of a room.
When I was little, my younger brothers would often punch holes in the shoji screens and our mother would mad at them lol
