Inspired by the Japanese Akari lantern tradition of 1951 — the Xuanzhi table lamp uses handmade mulberry paper that softens light into a gentle, even glow. Like the fishermen's bamboo lanterns that first inspired the design, it transforms any space with a warm, tranquil presence.

"The fishermen used lanterns to attract fish — ribs made of bamboo covered with fine paper. For this lamp, mulberry tree paper is used, because it softens the light, making it gentle and spreading it evenly."

Mulberry Paper Shade

Handmade washi paper softens light into a gentle, even ambient glow — the same technique used in traditional Japanese lanterns.

From compact (∅10.2") to statement-scale (∅33.1") — a size for every space and surface.

Plug-In

59" cord with inline on/off switch — place anywhere without hardwiring.

Glue traces at shade edge — normal handcraft characteristic

The shade undergoes a meticulous hand-bonding process using paper and glue. Minor glue traces along the edge of the lampshade are a normal result of this handcraft process — not a quality issue.

Where Tradition Meets Tranquility Akari Series — Light,
Sculpted by Hand and Spirit
Every lantern begins as raw paper and bamboo. Every crease is placed by hand. The process has not changed in a hundred years — and it shows in the quality of the glow.

The Material Japanese Washi —
A Timeless Art
Washi is a traditional Japanese handmade paper crafted from natural plant fibres — kozo (mulberry), mitsumata, and gampi. The meticulous process of stripping, boiling, washing, and beating fibres into pulp, then forming and drying sheets on bamboo screens, yields paper both exceptionally strong and delicately translucent.
Kozo · Mulberry Mitsumata Gampi Bamboo Frame Hand-Formed Sun-Dried
· Revered for its beauty and durability, washi has long graced calligraphy, origami, architectural shoji screens, and festival lanterns — reflecting Japan's rich cultural heritage and refined aesthetic sensibility. Of Paper, Light, and Cultural Elegance — this is a tradition of making that has endured because it cannot be improved upon. Only practised, inherited, and passed forward.
Complete washi paper production process — 6 stages from raw fibre to finished sheet
Paper · Light · Craft Paper of Light,
Art of Serenity
From fibre to finished glow — every stage of a paper lantern's creation is guided by trained hands, quiet focus, and generations of inherited knowledge.
01

Fibre Selection & Preparation

Raw kozo bark is stripped, boiled in ash-lye, and hand-washed to reveal pure, long-strand fibres ready for papermaking.

02

Sheet Formation

Fibres are beaten into pulp and suspended in water. A bamboo screen is dipped through the suspension, capturing an even, translucent layer of future paper.

03

Drying & Finishing

Sheets are carefully pressed and sun-dried on wooden boards. The result: paper of singular softness, strength, and warm translucency.

04

Frame Building & Wrapping

A bamboo or wood armature is assembled by hand. Washi sheets are layered, stretched, and shaped around the frame to form the lantern.

05

Hand-Painted Motifs

Artisans apply traditional patterns — brushstrokes of ink, botanical motifs, geometric forms — directly onto the washi surface. No two are identical.

Applied by Hand, One Stroke at a Time Washi Lantern Making:
An Illuminated Tradition
Each motif painted onto the lantern surface carries centuries of artistic convention — and the quiet confidence of an artisan who has made this gesture a thousand times before.

Handcrafted Light · Tranquil Glow More Than Décor —
A Presence
When illuminated, a washi lantern does not just light a room. It transforms it — casting a warm, diffused glow that settles the air, softens the shadows, and invites a slower pace.

"Long associated with festivals, meditation, and peaceful living, these lanterns are more than just décor — they are a gentle celebration of harmony and timeless beauty."
