Shoji Screen Closet #1 by Pacific Shoji Works

KATSURA IMPERIAL VILLA (17TH CENTURY), Kyoto, Japan - The apex of traditional Japanese design. Hugely influential on such architects as Frank Lloyd Wright, Walter Gropius, and Kenzo Tange, Katsura may be 400 years old, but it looks utterly of the moment. Its famous gardens are punctuated by several tea pavilions, the standout being Shokin-tei, seen here. * #katsuraimperialvilla #kyoto #japan #traditionaljapanesedesign #shokintei #teapavilion #japaneseteapavilion #shojiscreen https://www.instagram.com/p/B-AoxpnJg3c/?igshid=1o6jgoj734duy

Cherry wardrobe with Shoji Screen doors. Cherry and Tasmanian Oak dovetailed drawers with carved walnut handles and brass inserts

This is the piece that I have spent the past 6 months working on.

Much time was spent on the design and how I envisioned this to be. I wanted this to be modular and able to change configurations, yet still be beautiful as a collective.

There are 3 separate pieces to this unit. A large one for hanging clothes with 3 accessories drawers. A mid sized one consisting of 12 drawers, and a small unit for additional storage.

Hand planing each board and joining them together by hand took a considerable amount of time. But I had to make sure they all look pleasing as well as are stable before moving on to the joinery.

The shoji screen doors too some time to get right. It was a tedious affair of tiny tenons and mortises. They needed to fit snuggly yet have just enough space for expansion and timber movement.

The rest of the time was spent on cutting the countless number of dovetails, carving the handles and eventually fitting the drawers. 

This is the largest piece I have ever built and I am so proud of it. I amaze myself at what I can make from this tiny space I have and this pushes me ahead to greater achievements to come.
