remember shoji. Thank you.

What is the name for the sliding doors made of a wood frame with paper?
From Wikipedia

> In traditional Japanese architecture, a shōji (障子) is a door, window or room
> divider consisting of translucent paper over a frame of wood which holds
> together a lattice of wood or bamboo. While washi is the traditional paper,
> shōji may be made of paper made by modern manufacturing processes; plastic
> is also in use.

I will just include the picture from the page while I am at it.

I think you want to know a name of a Japanese-style room's door:

The name is [障子]{しょうじ}.

[Wikipedia (Japanese)](https://ja.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E9%9A%9C%E5%AD%90)

> 障子{しょうじ}は、日本家屋における扉、窓に用いる建具の一つで、明かりを通すように木枠に紙張りになっているものは明障子{あかりしょうじ}ともいう。

Shoji is used in doors and widows in Japanese-house. Shoji that's put papers
on wood frame in such a way as to allow light to pass through is called
[明障子]{あかりしょうじ}.
