If you accidentally poke more than a small hole in it, the paper would usually need to be replaced. Shoji paper is thicker than writing paper, but as paper it is still a little fragile and difficult to repair.
Usually this is a plain grid form, but sometimes include very elaborate carvings and lattices. The paper covering is stretched taut over a wooden or bamboo frame. However, commercial manufacturing, which began in the late 1800s, as well as the introduction of synthetic fibers in the 1960s helped make the paper more affordable and easier to come by.

Because of their paper construction, they can be painted on directly, or the lattice can be worked into intricate patterns. Shoji have come to have an aesthetic role as well as a practical one. Yet their enduring popularity means they often appear in modern homes, hotels, and even offices.
