The gentle, warm illumination creates a serene, Zen atmosphere in living spaces, bedside tables, and contemplative studios.

Sizing & questions

Every piece is hand-assembled in our atelier — here is what clients frequently ask before choosing theirs.

Where does this lamp fit best in a home?+

At ∅ 11.8″ (30 cm) wide and 15.4″ (39 cm) tall, the Kiyoshi Lamp is ideally proportioned for bedside nightstands, low credenzas, reading side tables, or meditation desks.

Which bulb type and color temperature are recommended?+

We recommend a warm white (2700K–3000K) LED bulb (E26 for US/CA, E27 for EU/AU/UK, max 40W equivalent). Warm light brings out the natural fiber texture of the Japanese mulberry paper.

How do I care for and dust the paper shade?+

Gently dust with a soft microfiber feather duster or dry cloth. Avoid water, damp cloths, and chemical cleaners, as natural washi paper is sensitive to moisture.

Does it plug into a standard wall outlet?+

Yes. The fixture comes with a 59″ (1.5 m) power cable, an inline toggle switch, and a plug automatically matched to your shipping destination (US/EU/UK/AU).

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."
