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.

Features

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.
