This product is crafted in Japan, featuring handmade washi paper, a wooden cover, and Nambu ironware—a traditional craft from Iwate Prefecture. The washi paper, designated as a National Important Intangible Cultural Property, boasts a 1,300-year history of traditional handcrafting techniques. Primarily made from kozo (mulberry bark), the paper is meticulously crafted sheet by sheet by skilled artisans, highlighting its strength, durability, and resistance to humidity, while showcasing the beauty of natural materials.
The production of washi paper in Tokigawa Town, where this product is made, dates back to the 8th century. Known as Musashi paper or Ogawa washi, papermaking thrived across the western Saitama region. During the Edo period, this area became a renowned paper production hub, benefiting from its proximity to Edo (modern-day Tokyo), a major consumer of paper.
The shade is crafted from washi paper that incorporates soil from the fields where the kozo plants are grown. Its distinctive double-layered structure balances the overall design, allowing the texture of the washi paper to stand out when illuminated. The wooden shaft, made from oak, is shaped using lathe woodworking techniques perfected in Hida-Takayama. The combination of wood and brass adds a refined accent, enhancing the overall impression of the fixture.
The heavy iron base, crafted using Nambu ironware—a traditional craft from Iwate Prefecture—ensures the lamp’s stability. Its three-legged design allows for flexible cable management, accommodating any direction.
The washi paper shade, created in harmony with nature, is not only strong but also eco-friendly, human-friendly, and aesthetically pleasing, casting a soft glow that enriches various living spaces.

With its simple yet modern design, this pendant light is the perfect accent for any interior setting.
