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

"The designer has compared the light of Akari to sunlight filtered through traditional paper doors — the light sculptures create a warm glow and pleasant ambiance."

Handcrafted Washi Paper

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?

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 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.

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."
