Lightness · harmony · timeless design
Mulberry Paper
Handmade with Japanese mulberry paper — a soft, luminous diffusion of warm light.
Handmade
Handcrafted in the studio with meticulous attention to detail — every piece is unique.
Plug-In Swag
180" cord with inline switch — drape and hang anywhere, with no hardwiring required.
Hand-Glued Paper — Minor Glue Marks Are Normal
The Akari A lamp undergoes a meticulous hand-gluing process using mulberry paper and adhesive. Minor glue marks along the lampshade edge are a normal feature of this artisanal process — not a quality issue. Every lamp bears the unique marks of the hand that made it.
Two Listings — Only the Cord Color Differs
The Akari A lamp is available in two separate listings. The only difference is the color of the power cord — black cord or white cord. All other specifications, dimensions, and materials are identical. Choose the cord color that best suits your ceiling and walls.
Black Cord
Graphic contrast · modern and industrial spaces
White Cord
Seamless minimalism · light and airy spaces

Plug-in swag — 180" cord (457 cm), no hardwiring required
The Akari A is a pendant lamp supplied with a generous 180-inch plug-in cord and an inline push-button on/off switch. Hang it from the ceiling using a swag hook, drape the cord decoratively, and plug it into a standard outlet. No electrician is required.
E26 or E27 Base — Bulb Not Included
Uses a standard E26 or E27 base. A low-wattage LED bulb (2700K) is recommended — the paper shade glows beautifully while preserving the material. Avoid high-wattage bulbs that could generate excess heat near the paper. Bulb not included.
