Bedside & reading
Seated, the bottom of the shade should sit at about eye level so the bulb never shows. A pair on matching nightstands keeps the room symmetrical.

Table Luminaire · Rice Paper & Iron
01OverviewLight, Named
A table-scale sculpture rooted in the lantern tradition of Gifu.
Its slender framework — reminiscent of bamboo ribs — is wrapped in hand-pasted rice paper, softening and diffusing the bulb into an even, ambient glow.

05Materials & CraftThree Pillars
Rice Paper
Fine white paper, hand-pasted onto the iron ribs. Translucent enough to diffuse light into a soft, evenly distributed glow — warm, ambient, never harsh.
Iron Frame
Slender black iron ribs echo the bamboo structure of traditional Gifu lanterns. Matte finish, subtle silhouette visible through the paper when illuminated.
Hand-Bonded
Each shade is individually assembled and pasted by skilled artisans. Small traces of the bonding process are part of the finished object's character.

08InstallationSetup & Wiring
- Assemble the iron rib frame first, then carefully slide the rice paper shade over the frame — follow the step-by-step installation video above for your size (1A or 24N).
- Install an E26 or E27 bulb (sold separately). A warm white LED bulb (2700K–3000K) gives the most flattering glow through the paper shade.
- Plug into a standard wall outlet. The 150 cm cord includes an inline on/off switch for easy reach on a table or side surface. The lamp ships with your chosen regional plug (US, UK, AU, or EU) — specify at checkout so it arrives ready for your local outlet.
- When replacing the bulb, ensure the lamp is unplugged and the bulb has cooled completely. Handle the paper shade with clean, dry hands.
Wiring Guide — Inside the Socket
To ensure correct operation, connect the wires as follows: the ● Black wire to hole number 2, and the ○ White wire to hole number 3.

09QuestionsFrequently Asked
Which plug type should I choose?
Please choose the plug type that matches your local outlets at checkout: US plug (North America, Japan), UK plug (United Kingdom, Ireland, Hong Kong, Singapore), AU plug (Australia, New Zealand, China), or EU plug (most of continental Europe). The lamp itself supports full-range AC 110–240V, so only the plug shape needs to match — no transformer is required.
Is a light bulb included?
No. We recommend a warm white LED (2700K–3000K, 5–8W) for the most flattering glow through the paper shade, and to keep heat output low.
Why are there small glue marks on the edge of my lampshade?
Minor glue traces along the edges are inherent to this traditional craft and are considered normal — not a quality defect. Each shade is subtly different as a result.
How do I connect the wires correctly?
Inside the lamp's socket there are numbered terminal holes. Connect the black wire to hole number 2, and the white wire to hole number 3. See the wiring diagram in Section 08 above, and the installation video for your model.
They are two different silhouettes at the same table-scale. The 1A is the compact, classic form (Dia 26cm x H 43cm) — ideal for a bedside table, side table, or console. The 24N is larger and more sculptural (Dia 40cm x H 58cm), with greater presence on a sideboard or entry console. Both share the same iron frame, rice paper shade, and hardware.
Does the 24N really ship in two boxes?
Yes. Both pieces are required for complete assembly — please check both boxes have arrived before starting installation.
Yes. Just pair it with a bulb rated for your local voltage.
The lamp itself has a simple inline on/off switch. To dim the light, install a dimmable LED bulb and plug the lamp into a wall outlet controlled by a compatible dimmer switch. The lamp does not have a built-in dimmer.
No. The rice paper shade is sensitive to moisture and humidity — avoid bathrooms, kitchens with high steam exposure, covered porches, or any outdoor environment. Also keep the shade away from radiators and direct heat sources.
How do I clean the paper shade?
Dust very gently with a soft, dry brush (a camel-hair paintbrush or a feather duster works well). Do not use water, cleaning sprays, or damp cloths on the paper. Handle with clean, dry hands to avoid staining.

Why the Rice Paper series feels different

Authentic Washi
Hand-stretched paper showcasing natural, unrepeatable details.
Weightless Design
A delicate frame creates an airy, understated presence.
Timeless Appeal
Blends naturally into modern, minimal, or classic interiors.
The Craft of Light
Shaped by Time, Finished by Hand
A quiet dedication to traditional techniques. Each lantern is born from natural materials and shaped by artisans who treat light as a living medium.
-
01
Harvesting the Fibre
Raw mulberry (kozo) bark is meticulously washed and refined, stripping away the harshness to reveal pure, resilient strands.
-
02
Sculpting the Paper
Suspended in pure water, the fibers are gently gathered using a traditional bamboo screen, forming a flawless, delicate veil.
-
03
Natural Curing
Resting on wooden boards, the sheets air-dry naturally, locking in the inherent warmth and strength of the washi.
-
04
Shaping the Silhouette
A slender bamboo armature is bent into shape, providing the quiet, weightless skeleton onto which the paper is seamlessly wrapped.
-
05
The Final Glow
Carefully wired and inspected by the maker’s eye, ensuring the light diffuses with perfect serenity before it reaches your home.
The Light
Light that floats
Filtered through fine handmade washi, direct light is gently softened into a warm, diffused glow. Weightless and calm, each lantern seems to breathe quietly in the air, bringing a serene, restorative presence to the room.
- Soft diffusion for a comfortable, glare-free glow
- Restorative warm light that wraps the room in comfort
- Versatile enough to serve as ambient or accent lighting

In Detail
In the Texture, a World of Its Own
Held to the light, the character of the material comes alive. Slender mulberry fibres weave freely through every inch of washi, supple bamboo ribs trace the lantern's full silhouette, and warm-toned hardware finishes each joint with a gentle touch.
These are the details worth leaning in for: the soft grain left by hand-made paper, the seamless lines where panels meet, and the quiet, enduring weight of a fixture made to last. Beauty rests in the smallest things.
1 / 5
Handcrafted, One by One
Shaped by Hand, Woven with Time
Every shade is hand-shaped by skilled artisans, with time and full attention worked into each one. In an age that prizes efficiency, it is the mark of the hand that matters here — so no two lanterns share exactly the same texture, fold, or quality of light. More than a source of light, each is a piece of art that still carries the warmth of the hands that made it.
The Forms
One Light, Seven Forms
One lamp, and the room is given space to breathe.
A quiet end to a loud day.
