1AT AKARI Light Sculpture
by
WAZA Japan Store
AKARI Light Sculpture, designed by Isamu Noguchi and manufactured in Japan by Ozeki & Co. The AKARI range is an iconic range of standing and hanging paper lanterns, made since 1951 according to traditional Gifu lantern making techniques. Hand made using mulberry bark washi paper and bamboo ribbing, the designs are sculptural with often surprising angles. Each lantern is made on a wooden mould which is removed from the inside to leave the lantern shape. When lit, they emit a soft light to add sophistication to any setting.
