Well, of course the point I was making is that technically correct Shoji can certainly be made with an average, decent set of Western hand tools. If you think otherwise, then your consumption of the Kool Aid is not in any doubt. The work could get done without all of the Eastern Mysticism and incense burning in the background.

It's the copping of the whole 'aura' from certain quarters that gets my goat. It would be like me faking a British accent when I was running a Record plane. What a hokie bunch 'o crap that would be don't you think?
