See It In Action

The Akari Juni Pendant Lamp is the kind of light that makes a room feel quieter. Hand-crafted rice paper stretched over a bamboo silk frame diffuses the bulb into a warm, soft, directionless glow — no hard edges, no bright center, just light that spreads gently outward.

The lamp that changes the feeling of a room, not just the brightness of it.

Where It Belongs

🛏 Bedroom

Hung above the bed, the Juni replaces overhead light with something that encourages rest — warm enough to read by, soft enough to fall asleep under.

Dimmer compatible

🛋 Living Room

As a primary pendant above a seating arrangement, the Juni gives the room a centered visual anchor — a white sculptural volume that organizes the space.

Visual anchor

🍽 Dining Room

The even diffusion of rice paper lights every face at the table softly and equally — no harsh shadows, no bright center competing with the meal.

Soft, even output

Better in Multiples

×2

Two Junis — a composed ceiling arrangement. Two pendant lamps hung at different heights create a layered composition — the white forms read as a deliberate sculptural decision rather than a single light source. Hang at staggered heights for asymmetry, or at the same height for a formal pair.

How It's Made

📄 Hand-Crafted Rice Paper Traditional washi-inspired rice paper stretched over the frame by hand — each lamp is unique. Thin enough to allow warm light through, structured enough to hold its shape.

🪶 Bamboo Silk Frame Lightweight, flexible, and strong — the bamboo silk structure maintains the lamp's sculptural shape and gives the shade its slight translucency at the edges.

↗ Sloped Ceiling Ready Adapts to sloped ceilings up to 30° — the lamp hangs straight regardless of ceiling pitch, with a 59-inch adjustable cord.

Complete the Atmosphere

🕯 Candlelight + Dimmer The Juni's rice paper output pairs naturally with candlelight — both produce warm, directionless light. A dimmer at the lowest setting and a few candles below creates a room that feels genuinely restorative. Mood Pairing

💡 Warm LED Bulb Use a 2700–3000K warm-toned LED to get the most from the rice paper diffusion — the paper shifts cooler light into something amber and alive. Bulb Guide

The Akari Series

Handcrafted paper. A warmer kind of light.

Washi paper, thin wire, and a warm diffused glow — no hotspots, no glare.

A sculptural piece by day, a quiet layer of ambient light by night. One lantern is often all a room needs.

Why Akari

Why the Akari Series feels different

Four reasons these lanterns keep showing up in homes that take lighting seriously.

Soft, diffused glow

Washi paper filters light into a warm wash. No harsh hotspots, no cold edges — just gentle ambient light across the whole room.

Handcrafted paper texture

Every shade is shaped and pressed by hand. Fiber lines, soft folds, and small irregularities you can actually see when it's lit.

Sculptural, nearly weightless

Strong silhouette, light visual footprint. Real presence in a room without crowding what's already there.

Styles with anything

Warm enough for mid-century, quiet enough for minimalist, soft enough to anchor a modern dining table.

Craft & Material

Paper that was made to hold light

Washi paper is thin, strong, and slightly translucent — which is exactly what a good shade needs. Light passes through the fiber instead of bouncing off it, so the glow lands soft and even. Every shade is hand-shaped over a wire frame, which means no two are identical. The small variations on the surface aren't defects — they're the difference between a handmade lantern and a printed one.

Heritage

The Art of Xuan Paper Making: A Thousand Years of Craftsmanship

Washi, traditional Japanese paper, is crafted from the inner barks of plants like kozo, mitsumata, and gampi. The process involves carefully stripping, boiling, and pounding the fibers into pulp, which is then spread onto bamboo mesh to form delicate sheets. Known for its strength, translucency, and soft texture, washi has been a vital part of Japanese culture for centuries — seen in origami, lanterns, and sliding doors, embodying the nation's enduring artistry and grace.

Room by Room

Where Akari lights belong

These aren't fixtures you hide. They're pieces you place — and every room has a spot that opens up with one of them in it.

Over the dining table

Hang a pendant low. The paper warms the room the moment you switch it on — the kind of light people stay under longer.

In the bedroom

A floor lantern in the corner replaces the overhead. Walls soften, the room calms, and the last hour of the day feels slower.

Living room & reading corner

Tall beside a chair, low on a side table — ambient light that fills the room without pulling attention away.

See It Light Up

Watch the light come on

Every lantern fills a room differently. See how the light settles in, from first switch to full glow.

From Owners

What owners are saying

★★★★★

"Bought the floor lantern for our bedroom and it completely changed the evening vibe. We never turn the overhead on anymore. Warm, but not yellow — if that makes sense."

★★★★★

"I was looking for a dining pendant that didn't feel cold or too 'designer.' This one actually pulls the table together. Guests always ask where it's from."

Mark T.

★★★★★

"The paper texture is better in person than in photos — you can see the fiber when it's lit. Arrived well-packed and easy to assemble."

Well packed. Everything was there. Nothing damaged or broken. I get lots of compliments on this item. Thanks!

Its very beautiful. The atmosphere immediately comes after installation. Its also very convenient to install. Dont panic when it arrives. It looks like a big lantern and you dont have to return it. It looks great after its installed. The boss is super patient and gentle. Im a person with aesthetic fatigue. Its really beautiful. Its very beautiful, so I ordered another one. I thought it was the ugliest lamp!

Very good-looking lamp, Japanese style, very powerful, very artistic. It looks good and the price is moderate. It looks very stylish at first glance.

I can only use it to describe it as perfect. I have repurchased it many times. The quality is very good. Lets buy it. It has a great atmosphere.

This kind of lamp is very cost-effective. The style and quality exceed expectations. It is versatile. Highly recommended. It has a great atmosphere.

[Additional comment] Very beautiful and very effective. As soon as you hang it up, the whole atmosphere will be there. There are three colors of lights, which is enough for daily use. The lampshade is very thick and easy to install.

Love? I love it so much, so many people come to check in at my window every day, its amazing! The effect is really unexpectedly beautiful! Bonus points for the entire store, dont worry.

The paper lanterns are received stacked together and need to be stretched and unfolded by yourself. The installation effect is also in line with my expectations~

This lamp is my favorite style, but it was a little tricky because of the size issue, but in the end I found a suitable location for this lamp, and the effect is satisfactory. If I have the opportunity to hand-paint some patterns, it will definitely look better. Customer service is professional and patient.

I got the goods, I'm very excited, it has a super medieval feel, the baby is really atmospheric, the appearance is very exquisite, the quality is also very good, I quickly tried it, friends who like it, don't hesitate, place an order as soon as possible Bar!

Very powerful! ! ! The price is not high, and the results are not cheap at all, especially the quality, the color is not dead white, in short, it is very high-end.

Minimalist design, it will be very simple if you have installed it before. This is the first time I've had sex with a colleague for a long time. In the end, I fastened it directly without tightening the screws. It's pretty good as an ambient light, but the brightness is average and you need to change the bulbs yourself.

Its been a long time since I received the goods, but Ive been busy so I just had time to install them today. The Japanese-style lamps really match the store. At night, the atmosphere comes out as soon as the lights are turned on. It is very artistic, meets expectations, and I am satisfied!
