Mulberry paper, warm glow — light like sunlight through shoji.

Each Akari pendant is handcrafted from translucent washi paper made from the inner bark of the mulberry tree — the same material used in traditional Japanese shoji screens. The paper filters and softens light into the warm, even glow of afternoon sun through a paper door, creating a serene, timeless presence in any interior.


Rice Paper Series — Lightness, Harmony, and Timeless Design


Handcrafted Washi Paper

Each shade individually hand-bonded from mulberry bark washi — no two are identical.

Warm Diffused Light

Translucent paper filters the bulb into a soft, even glow — like sunlight through shoji.

Natural Material

Mulberry paper, metal, and iron — honest materials that age with warmth and character.

Handcrafted nature — minor glue traces along edges are normal

This pendant undergoes a meticulous hand-bonding process using paper and glue. As a result, minor traces of glue along the edge of the lampshade may be visible. This is a characteristic of the handcraft process and does not constitute a defect or quality issue.

Compatible with LED and Edison filament bulbs. A warm-white LED (2700–3000 K) is strongly recommended — the washi paper diffuses light evenly and the warm tone creates the characteristic golden-cream ambient glow this shade is known for. A clear filament Edison bulb also works beautifully, adding a visible warmth within the paper.

Why are there glue traces on my lampshade?

The Akari pendant is hand-bonded from washi paper and glue — a meticulous handcraft process. Minor traces of glue along the edge of the shade are a characteristic of this process, not a defect or quality issue. Each shade is individually made and will show the marks of its crafting.

What bulb is recommended for this pendant?

A warm-white LED (2700–3000 K) with an E26 or E27 base is strongly recommended. The washi paper softens and diffuses the light evenly, and a warm tone creates the characteristic golden-cream ambient glow. A clear filament Edison bulb is also a beautiful choice — its shape is subtly visible through the paper. See our E26/E27 bulb guide for more information.

Can the hanging height be adjusted?

Yes. The pendant includes a 59″ adjustable suspension cable. Extensions are available on request — contact our support team before ordering.

Is the Akari certified for North America and Europe?

Yes. It holds certifications compatible with North America, Saudi Arabia, Europe, and Australia and operates on AC 110–240V worldwide.

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."
