This akari shoji is characterized by the following: the horizontal members of its frame as well as the crosspieces being the same in width; the vertical and horizontal crosspieces are entwined in each other to form a muntin grid called "jigoku-kumiko"; the front and side faces of the crosspieces are nearly the same in width.
上下の框と桟も同じような幅でできており、縦桟と横桟を交互に編み付ける地獄組子となっており、また桟の見付けと見込みもほぼ同じ寸法でできている。
