Japanese Movie, Lovers Running through Paper Walls

I’ve had a scene stuck in my head for the last 15 years, but have not been able to pinpoint the movie. It was an Asian film, almost positive it was Japanese. There were two lovers (some sort of forbidden love?), and what I recall is them running together through traditional Japanese paper walls of other peoples homes, surprising them as they burst through. It might have been in a slum, one or both of the lovers may have been vagrants/nomads. I’m pretty sure they were running from someone chasing them. I really can’t remember any other details about the movie, but I hope this rings a bell for someone!
