From Wikipedia

In traditional Japanese architecture, a shōji (障子) is a door, window or room divider consisting of translucent paper over a frame of wood which holds together a lattice of wood or bamboo. While washi is the traditional paper, shōji may be made of paper made by modern manufacturing processes; plastic is also in use.

I will just include the picture from the page while I am at it.

I think you want to know a name of a Japanese-style room's door:

Shoji

This is a free picture. You can download from here.
The name is [障子]{しょうじ}.


Wikipedia (Japanese)

障子{しょうじ}は、日本家屋における扉、窓に用いる建具の一つで、明かりを通すように木枠に紙張りになっているものは明障子{あかりしょうじ}ともいう。

Shoji is used in doors and widows in Japanese-house. Shoji that's put papers on wood frame in such a way as to allow light to pass through is called [明障子]{あかりしょうじ}.
