Japanese Curtain Thing?

[Zephik]

Okay, maybe they aren't even Japanese or anything, but that's where I see them the most is in the Japanese culture. But basically they're like a folding curtain that usually folds in three and people use them to dress behind? Man, I'm having a horrible time trying to explain this. lol

Does anyone know what I'm talking about? I'm trying to find where to buy one or at the very least what they're called.

Edit: They're sometimes in old western movies, where the girl goes behind the curtain thing and gets undressed all sexy like. lol

Something along these lines (http://www.orientalfurniture.com/oriental-furniture/Room-Divider-Folding-Screens.html)?

I believe it's called a dressing screen. Any reason you are looking?

[Zephik]

Ah! There we go. I kept searching for dressing curtains... that was definitely not it, although kind of close.

They're fashionable and my mothers house is a fashionable house. lol

But I basically just want one to kind of partition off a corner of my room while having it look nice.

Edit: This one is pretty nice looking, wish it was 4 panel though, but apparently adding an extra panel doubles the price. Expensive!

make your own! wouldnt be very hard. just a couple sheets of plywood, some hinges, and some some creative overlays. could just use that contact wood grain stuff that you just pull n peel on top. or paint it black. or something. just an idea. would be a lot cheaper than buying one.

My father has all the tools and I'm currently staying at my mothers house. That and it's a condo... a nice one.. so.. pretty much no modding room what-so-ever. lol

But yea, otherwise I would totally build it myself. It would be ridiculously easy. Hell, I'll just stop by one of those old houses that are being torn down, "borrow" a couple doors and hinge them together! HA! Now that's ghetto trashy. lol

"Hey! No peaking through the mail slot!"

XD

[billygoat333]

haha yeah the door idea would be ghetto fabulous. haha. sorry bout the no tools situation. lamesauce. lol

[Zephik]

A modder without any tools... I might need to go through trauma therapy someday. lol

We call it "biombo" in spanish.

[billygoat333]

I've also heard it called room divider. :P

[Zephik]

I just call it ridiculously expensive for what it is. lol

I looked at the shipping on some of those... $20. And the cheapest one is $40. So $60 for a bit of wood and cloth? Ouch.

One thing you could try if you could find em being thrown out or cheap. Wood framed screen doors. Just get 3 hinge em together then staple some cheap fabric or disposable tablecloth material to the backside. Just my hair brained 2 cents.
