Handcrafted from translucent washi paper made from the inner bark of the mulberry tree, the washi pendant creates a warm, diffused glow unlike any other material. Each piece is a light sculpture — organic, quietly luminous, and made by hand.

Light through washi paper is often compared to sunlight filtered through traditional paper doors — a warm glow and a calm, pleasant ambiance.

Handcrafted Washi Paper

Mulberry tree bark paper, hand-bonded over a metal frame. Each piece carries the warmth of hand work.

Warm Diffused Glow

Translucent paper scatters light softly in all directions — a gentle, enveloping ambiance.

Cluster Configurations

Mix sizes for a layered, multi-pendant installation — from a simple duo to five lamps.

Handcrafted characteristic — glue traces are normal

Each shade undergoes a meticulous hand-bonding process using paper and glue. Minor glue traces along the shade edges are a natural result of this handcraft process and are not a quality defect.

E26 base — bulb not included

Uses a standard E26 (or E27) base. A warm Edison-style filament bulb (2200–2700K) is strongly recommended — the amber glow through translucent washi paper replicates the quality of candlelight or sunlight through traditional shoji screens beautifully. LED bulbs also work. Bulb not included.

What is this lamp made from?

Handcrafted from translucent washi paper made from the inner bark of the mulberry tree — the same traditional material used in Japanese shoji screens and paper lanterns. The paper is hand-bonded over a metal wire frame.

Why are there glue traces on the shade?

The shade is assembled by hand using paper and glue. Minor glue traces along the edges are a normal characteristic of this handcraft process — not a defect.

What sizes are available?

Three individual sizes — 26A (∅17.7"), 21A (∅25.6"), and 15A (∅34.6") — plus cluster configurations pairing two, three, or five pendants at graduated heights.

What bulb is recommended?

A warm Edison-style filament bulb (2200–2700K) — the amber glow through washi paper is exceptionally warm and beautiful, evoking candlelight or sunlight through a shoji screen. E26 or E27 base. Bulb not included.

How long is the cable?

197 inches (500 cm) — an extra-long cable suitable for double-height or lofted ceilings. It can be shortened at installation. Custom extensions available on request.


Sizing & questions

Every piece is made to order in our own atelier — here is what most clients ask before choosing theirs.

Which size should I choose for my dining table?+

The 21A (∅25.6″) works well over standard dining tables; the 15A (∅34.6″) suits larger tables or creates dramatic focal points. For intimate settings, pair two or three sizes in a cluster configuration for layered ambient light.

Can I customize the cable length for a high ceiling?+

Yes. Standard cable adjusts to 197″ (500 cm). Custom extensions are available on request through our atelier for very high ceilings or stairwells—contact us with your ceiling height.

What cable colors are available?+

White & White Cable or White & Black Cable. Choose based on your ceiling and décor to either blend seamlessly or create intentional visual contrast.

Where Tradition Meets Tranquility Washi Paper 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.
Washi paper lantern making process
Artisan crafting paper lantern
Finished washi lantern detail
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.

Detailed brushwork — ink and washi paper
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.

Ink & Washi · A Living Surface

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."

Wow! I love this lamp so much! I put it in our living room. It's the perfect size and looks great in our apartment window. It adds a lot of atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Exactly what was needed

This shade is aesthetically pleasing. You do need to take care when you put in the wire that holds it open. It would be easy to tear the paper globe. Once up, the fact that it is paper does not matter. It will last forever as long as nobody messes with it.

Brandi Sheffield

I have a floor lamp style and another one like this that is 3 years old

This is my 3rd paper style lamp shade. I was unsure how it would hold up over time... I can assure you they hold up! I have a floor lamp style and another one like this that is 3 years old . Even with my crazy family they have proven durable. Good buy, amazing price

I like this lamp

I like this lamp, the lighting is very beautiful out of the box, the quality and workmanship are very solid and exquisite, the material of the lamp is very thick, after installation, I tried the lighting effect to be bright and not dazzling. Overall it feels good, it's worth buying

C
CunninghamGwendolyn

Perfect. We put this in our daughter's room for ambiance and decor. Looks perfect. She loves it. Good quality. I was concerned about a paper product not lasting long or looking good over time. It still looks great!

Great size

We bought the 21A size, which is 25.6 inches in diameter. It's very light, only about 4.4 pounds. I'm very happy with this purchase; I really love it and will definitely buy more!

M

Highly recommend

I especially love the flat, oval design of the 26A model. It's 17.7 inches wide, which is perfect for my breakfast nook. I'm very happy with it and will buy more.
