Double sliding window 

A window that opens and closes by moving two or more parallel panels horizontally over two or more grooves or rails is called a double sliding window, where both the left and right panels move. This sort of window is an ancient Japanese mechanism for opening and closing, and its original form can be traced back to the yarido sliding panels of the Heian era (B.C. 794 to 1185). They are commonly used even today in Japanese homes.ns in Japan. From design to production and final polishing finish, it is done by the manual work of skilled craftsmen in the company’s workshop.

Index of Window Sounds and Movements 

For this project, we sought to extract and observe the sounds and movements associated with the opening and closing of windows, in order to shed more light on how we perceive a “window” through our ears and eyes. A Glossary of Window Sounds and Movements is the first research project of “Windows Products Inside,” carried out as a collaboration between the Window Research Institute and product designer Yoh Komiyama, with video imagery created by Tomohiro Okazaki.

引違い窓

2枚以上の戸を平行した2本以上の溝またはレールの上を水平移動させることによって開閉する窓を「引違い窓」と呼び、左右２枚とも動く。日本古来の開閉方式で、その原型は平安時代の遣戸（やりど）まで遡ることができ、現在も日本の住宅で多く用いられている。
