(Japanese: 襖). In Japanese architecture, fusuma are vertical rectangular partitions. They are designed to be moved (usually by sliding them along tracks) to reconfigure spaces within a room, or to act as interior doors. Unlike translucent shoji partitions, fusuma are opaque. They are constructed with a wooden frame that is covered with thick paper or cloth on both sides. The surfaces can be decorated with paintings or calligraphy. Web resource here.
