ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Fusuma

Fusuma is like a big wall that can slide open and closed in traditional Japanese homes. Imagine a really big and fancy door that doesn't swing on hinges. Instead, it moves along a track on the floor and slides open or closed like magic. Fusuma can be decorated with beautiful paintings or designs, and are often used to divide rooms for different purposes. For example, if one part of a room is being used for sleeping and another part for playing, a fusuma can be slid closed to create a separate space for each activity. It's like making a secret hideout or fort indoors!
