"Ed, our Shoji screens are the most admired and loved objects in our new condo! They make us happy each time we walk past them. And they diffuse the morning sunlight when we are in the art studio. We truly appreciate your craftsmanship and the attention to detail that you and Frances provided.
Thank you very much. "

Thank you"

"The shoji arrived this morning with the crate and contents intact. Your notes and instructions marked on the boxes were an additional touch of class. The color, finish and quality are excellent in appearance. I anticipated your product to be of high quality based on research and you proved it.
Thanks"

You can find additional pictures of this home on Houzz. Thanks to our client for sending pictures!

"Hi Ed, Your shoji screens are beautiful and we are thrilled with their beauty, quality, and with how much they add to our home. They are not room dividers, they are art! Bryan did a magnificent design and incorporated your panels beautifully into our home. Daina and I cannot thank you enough for your support. All our best."

Jean & Daina

"Ed, They went up great. Easy because, even if the opening is a 4 dimensional not-cube, the shoji are extraordinarily nicely done. I'll have to sort through valence options, but it's already amazing to sit in here and feel how different it is. Angela arrives Friday and her reaction will be joyful. So, thanks. And thanks to Frances too."

"The panel arrived yesterday.
What a beautiful piece!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
The light behind it gives it a wonderful, tranquil glow in the evenings.
All the best,"

"Yes I installed the shoji and I have been loving them! They are beautiful and even more so when backlit. They are in our bedroom and really set the mood for the room. I am still finishing the sapele trim I put up with them, but I will send pictures when it is done.
With gratitude,"

Noah R.

"Hi Ed and Frances, Thanks for making the screen, its really a centerpiece of our home now! It looks beautiful. The installer found the instructions useful and was able to install it pretty much spot on. I'll send a better picture to you tomorrow. It looks great!"

C. Chan

"Dear Ed and Frances, After many months of waiting, our lovely shoji is now in place and we are loving not only the design and placement, but of course, appreciating the quality, as well! Our construction took much longer than expected due to an addition in another room, but our contractor Evan wanted the shoji to be the last thing installed as he was very protective of it! We are so pleased that we found you and that you were willing and able to custom our son's design into the sliding shoji. He loves it as well! So, thank you very much for your artistry and craftsmanship and Frances, thank you for your efficiency. With much appreciation,"

C. Reichert

"Dear Ed and Frances, I want to thank you for creating such beautiful shoji screens for my parents. They were absolutely delighted with the beauty and craftsmanship of the project. They said the natural finish of the panels brightens the room and makes the space seem larger. I can't wait to see them in person when I visit my folks later in the year.
Thank you also for delivering them in person. I just looked at the route on Google maps, and it's easily over a hundred miles in each direction. I didn't realize it was such a long trip for you. I truly appreciate the personal service.
Best of luck to you and Shoji Designs."
Sincerely,

    We do not deliver usually. But our client (CA) bought shoji for his 90 year old parents (WA). Since our client was not in town and we could not find a delivery service that would install the shoji and take away the crate and packaging materials, we delivered them ourselves.

"The room is not complete yet, and I am going to work on the floors, but I wanted to share some pictures anyway... the shoji look absolutely gorgeous!"

"I appreciate the follow up. Your customer service is just as good as the quality of your product. The owners are very pleased with their shoji doors and I appreciate the sample grid work you provided for our painters to practice on. If I ever have another need for shoji doors, you are my guy."

"Dear Ed, I don't know if you'll remember us. A dozen years ago, you made six custom shoji screen sliding doors for the closets in our bedroom when we undertook a major remodel of our home. As other stuff has come up on its unofficial "expiration date" (read: built-in obsolescence) a dishwasher, an under-counter refrigeration unit and in the aftermath of replacing a roof, refinishing English slate countertops and tile floors we wanted you to know how grateful we are that we found our way to you to realize our vision for the shoji screens. They remain beautiful, unblemished (albeit for a few indiscernible nicks inflicted by our now 4-year-old grandson) and an ever-enduring grace note we're privileged to see (and open) every day.
Your craftsmanship speaks for itself. We're pleased to see from your website that you're still here, still working, and bestowing your gifts upon others. We simply wanted to thank you.
Best wishes and warmest regards for the New Year! May it be one of great joy, good health, and continued prosperity.
Nine bows,"

We worked for these clients in 2005, received this really sweet note from them over the holidays.

"Edward, It was great seeing you again and we look forward to having you work with us in our new home. In 2003 you created pocket shoji window coverings for our living room and dining room. This was a new construction home so you worked closely with our builder throughout the project and the result was a seamless, beautiful addition to our Asian decor. The materials you used were excellent quality and have endured these 13 years, looking as pristine now as they were new. The sale of our home was greatly influenced by the beautiful shoji and how well they were made.
When we bought our 'new' existing home we wanted to include some shoji accents and knew exactly who to contact! Thanks for working with us again and we are excited to see the finished project."

"The shoji doors are amazing. They look fantastic and provide an interesting architectural element to the room as well as being functional closet doors. The pictures don't do justice to what these add to the entire space. Love your work. If I ever build a home or renovate another one, I will be in touch!"

"Dear Edward, The shoji screen arrived yesterday. I understand now why you charge the high packaging fee. Quite an effort and beautifully done! The screen is perfect. It is a real work of art. You are clearly a true artisan and the woodwork is smooth as a baby's behind. It looks beautiful. Thank you so much for your excellent work. Best regards"
