Japanese screen internal sliding doors?

Hi we're hoping to put in some simple Japanese style internal doors that slide into a pocket cavity in partition wall. Would anyone know where we could get these type of doors in Ireland or UK? They're like the ones on this website [American!]

like those doors
but don t know where to get them .i imagine transport on those could be difficult because of paper screens in door .i am sure they could be made up using similar materials and mount them in runners.:)

An alternative.

Ok,so its not japanese sliding doors,but it still lets light in,provides privicy and slides into the walls for space saving.

You don't mean those paper doors do you?
You'll almost definitely have to have them made for you and imported. Also I believe the paper has to be replaced quite regularly, maybe 1 to 5 years at the most. You'll need someone to do that for you I'd imagine.

Oh I obviously wrongly assumed you'd require special woods glues etc.
Out of interest, how long does the paper last before needing replacement?
