English: From original book: "Oftentimes a narrow permanent partition occurs in which is an opening, — the width of one fusuma, — which takes the place of our swinging and slamming door. In this case the fusuma is a more solid and durable structure. The one shown in fig. 105 is of the nature of a door, since it guards the opening which leads from the hall to the other apartments of the house. A rich and varied effect is produced by the use and arrangement of light and dark bamboo and heavily-grained wood, the central panels being of dark cedar. In the vestibule one often sees sliding screens consisting of a single panel of richly-grained cedar. "
