Hand-stretched Washi paper. Soft golden glow. Wabi-Sabi in its purest form.
The Akari Spherical A Series Pendant Light is more than a light fixture — it is a sculptural piece of considered atmosphere. Each shade is hand-stretched by artisans using authentic Washi paper over a reinforced bamboo and iron frame, producing a serene round silhouette that instantly transforms any room into a tranquil sanctuary. When lit, the dense Washi paper filters harsh bulb light into a soft, diffuse, golden amber glow — closer to candlelight than electric light, with the texture and warmth that only handmade paper can deliver.
Available in eleven sizes from 11.8″ diameter for bedside and small-room installations, up to a statement-scale 47.2″ for grand foyers, double-height living rooms, and open-plan dining spaces. The 11-size range means there is a Washi Sphere for every room scale — same authentic hand-craft, same paper-and-bamboo materials, same warm golden glow at every size.
Hand-Stretched Washi PaperEach shade is hand-stretched by artisans using authentic Washi paper over a reinforced bamboo and iron frame — a slow, skilled craft no machine can replicate. |
One of a KindBecause the paper is stretched by hand, the grain, texture, and translucency vary slightly from piece to piece. These gentle variations aren't flaws — they're the mark of genuine handcraft. |
Warm Golden Glow Through Washi PaperThe dense paper filters harsh bulb light into a soft, diffuse, golden amber glow — closer to candlelight than electric light. Pair with a 2700–3000K bulb for the warmest effect. |
Beautiful Lit or UnlitSwitched on, it fills the room with a warm, sculptural glow; switched off, its round paper silhouette stands as quiet Wabi-Sabi decor — a depth of character molded plastic can never achieve. |

When Light Meets Washi
Glass and metal confine light within a cold, hard shell, leaving a harsh and piercing glare.
Washi paper chooses a different path.
As light passes through its countless natural fibers, the sharp edges are gently undone. It softens into a tender, amber glow—less like an aggressive beam, and more like a warm, quiet tide that cradles the entire room.
While glass reflects, paper breathes.
That is why the Akari Sphere is felt as an atmosphere first, and seen as a fixture second.

Answers to the questions customers ask most about our hand-crafted mulberry paper lamps.
Is this made from real mulberry paper?+
Yes. Each shade is made from genuine mulberry paper, traditionally crafted from the inner bark of the mulberry tree and stretched by hand over the frame — never printed film or synthetic imitation.
Why does each lamp look slightly different?+
Because the paper is handmade, the fibers, thickness, and texture vary slightly from sheet to sheet. These gentle variations are the mark of genuine handcraft — proof that yours is one of a kind, not a defect.
What kind of light does it give off?+
A soft, warm, diffused glow with no harsh glare. Light passes through the natural paper fibers and fills the room evenly — calm and inviting, much like light through a paper lantern.
What bulb should I use?+
A warm white LED (2700–3000K). LED is essential with a paper shade — it stays cool and protects the paper. Avoid hot incandescent or halogen bulbs. Check your fixture's base type and maximum wattage before buying.
Will the paper yellow or tear over time?+
Quality mulberry paper is surprisingly strong and, kept dry and paired with a cool LED, holds its color and integrity for years. Avoid moisture, direct handling of the paper, and hot bulbs to keep it looking its best.
How do I clean it?+
Dust gently with a dry, soft cloth or a feather duster, handling it by the frame. Never use water, sprays, or cleaning chemicals on the paper.
What rooms is it best for?+
It's ideal for bedrooms, living rooms, reading corners, tea rooms, entryways, and meditation spaces — anywhere you want warm, calming light. Keep it away from moisture, so it's not suited to bathrooms or covered outdoor areas.
Can I install it myself?+
Plug-in styles need no wiring. For hardwired ceiling versions, we recommend a licensed electrician, especially for high ceilings. Always turn off power at the breaker first.
Can I customize the size or color?+
Yes — because every piece is made to order by hand, we can tailor the size, shape, and paper tone to your space. Reach out to our team before purchasing to discuss a custom order.

The Akari Series — Light
Crafted by hand and spirit; each lantern is unique.
The Art of Hand-Crafted Mulberry Paper
Each lamp is a testament to centuries-old craftsmanship, where natural materials meet skilled artisan hands to create lighting that transcends function and becomes art.
Natural Materials
Authentic mulberry bark paper with organic fiber patterns
Artisan Crafted
Hand-stretched by skilled craftspeople, one piece at a time
Timeless Design
Sculptural beauty that glows with warm, diffused light
The Paper
Authentic mulberry paper is hand-crafted from the inner bark of mulberry trees. Natural fibers interweave in organic patterns, creating thickness variations that make each sheet one-of-a-kind.
Hand-Stretched
Artisans hand-stretch the mulberry paper over the lamp frame with meticulous care. This traditional technique preserves the paper's natural warmth and tactile character.
The Glow
When illuminated, light filters through the natural fibers, casting a soft, warm, glare-free glow. When off, the lamp stands as a sculptural piece in its own right.
Every lamp tells a story of patience, skill, and respect for natural materials—a quiet celebration of wabi-sabi philosophy.
Handmade Mulberry Bark Paper Lamp Crafting Process
Traditional craftsmanship meets modern design
Mulberry Bark Handmade Paper

Natural Air Drying and Shaping
The stretched paper is left to dry naturally in controlled conditions.
Hand Stretching on Frame
Skilled artisans carefully stretch the handmade paper onto specially designed frames.
Assembly into Lamp
The dried paper shade is carefully assembled with electrical components.
Mulberry Paper — A Living Material
Our shades are made from paper crafted the traditional way, from the inner bark of the mulberry tree. The bark is stripped, softened, washed, and beaten into pulp, then formed sheet by sheet and dried by hand. It's a slow, patient process — one that yields paper both surprisingly strong and beautifully translucent.
Because each sheet is formed by hand, no two are exactly alike. Look closely and you'll see the natural fibers running through it, the subtle shifts in thickness, the gentle texture that only real handmade paper has. These aren't flaws — they're the fingerprint of a material made by human hands, not a machine.
