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."

Glue traces at shade edge — normal handcraft characteristic
