Advice on Color
For a standard screen with a black lacquer edge, we recommend using black clips. If your lacquer edging is a natural wood, orange, red, or other color, we recommend the clear clips.
Advice on Size
Advice on Size
The channel of each clip measures 3/4". This accommodates most
traditional Japanese screens with lacquer edging. If your screen is
thinner than this, a piece of acid-free matboard or paper can be used to line the back of the channel so that it sits snugly in place.
If your screen is heavy, especially tall, or has damage, we recommend our wide or large clips.
