## Description

Akari Floor Luminaire · Mulberry Paper & Iron Watch: Akari 10A Installation Watch: Akari 14A Installation 01 Overview Light, Named Akari — the Japanese word for light. A sculpture that illuminates; a lantern that weighs almost nothing. Drawing inspiration from traditional Japanese fishing lanterns and designed by a pioneering American-Japanese artist in 1951, the Akari Floor Lamp is built from hand-pasted mulberry paper on a slender iron frame. It balances illumination with physical lightness — embodying the meaning of its name and offering a soft, ambient glow that makes it both a functional lamp and a quiet piece of sculpture in any contemporary interior. 02 Frame & Shade Two Materials, One Form Element 01 Black Iron Matte structural frame Element 02 Mulberry Paper Hand-pasted, translucent white 03 Paper Craft Hand-Bonded Mulberry Zoom A Note on Craft The hand of the artisan, visible at the edges. Each Akari shade is assembled through a meticulous hand-bonding process using paper and glue. Minor traces of glue along the edges of the lampshade may be visible — this is an inherent signature of the craft, not a defect, and no two Akari lamps are identical. 04 Proportions Two Silhouettes Akari 10A Dia 50cm x H 120cm Akari 14A Dia 33cm x H 162cm Akari 10A — Wide & Low DimensionsDia 50cm x H 120cm Imperial∅ 19.7" x H 47.2" PackingL 56 × W 56 × H 14 cm Akari 14A — Slim & Tall DimensionsDia 33cm x H 162cm Imperial∅ 13" x H 63.7" PackingL 63 × W 53 × H 38 cm 05 Materials & Craft Three Pillars Mulberry Paper Fine white paper, hand-pasted onto the iron ribs. Translucent enough to diffuse light into a soft, evenly distributed glow — warm, ambient, never harsh. Iron Frame Slim black iron ribs provide the structure and silhouette. Matte finish, subtle visible texture through the paper when illuminated from within. Hand-Bonded Each shade is individually assembled and pasted by skilled artisans. Small traces of the bonding process are part of the finished object's character. 06 Product Notes At a Glance Bulb Not Included E26 or E27 base · sold separately Global Plug Options US · UK · AU · EU plug · choose at checkout Indoor Only AC 110–240V · dry interior use 07 Specifications Technical Data Dimensions Akari 10A: Dia 50cm x H 120cm / ∅ 19.7" x H 47.2" Akari 14A: Dia 33cm x H 162cm / ∅ 13" x H 63.7" Packing size Akari 10A: L 56 × W 56 × H 14 cm Akari 14A: L 63 × W 53 × H 38 cm Frame material Iron, matte black finish Shade material Mulberry paper, hand-pasted Shade color White Socket E26 or E27 Bulb included No — sold separately Switch Inline on/off switch on cord Cord 150 cm / 59″ with inline on/off switch Plug option US plug · UK plug · AU plug · EU plug — choose at checkout Voltage AC 110–240V, full-range Installation Plug-in floor use Environment Indoor only Certifications North America Europe Australia Middle East Indoor use only. Akari is designed for dry interior environments and is not suitable for bathrooms, wet rooms, or outdoor installations. Keep the paper shade away from moisture and direct heat. 08 Installation Setup & Wiring Assemble the iron frame first, then carefully slide the mulberry paper shade over the ribs — follow the step-by-step installation video above for your size (10A or 14A). Install an E26 or E27 bulb (sold separately). A warm white LED bulb (2700K–3000K) gives the most flattering glow through the paper shade. Plug into a standard wall outlet. The 150 cm cord includes an inline on/off switch. The fixture ships with your chosen regional plug (US, UK, AU, or EU) — specify at checkout so it arrives ready for your local outlet. When replacing the bulb, ensure the lamp is unplugged and the bulb has cooled completely. Handle the paper shade with clean, dry hands. Wiring Guide — Inside the Socket To ensure correct operation, connect the wires as follows: the ● Black wire to hole number 2, and the ○ White wire to hole number 3. Click to enlarge 09 Questions Frequently Asked Which plug type should I choose? Please choose the plug type that matches your local outlets at checkout: US plug (North America, Japan), UK plug (United Kingdom, Ireland, Hong Kong, Singapore), AU plug (Australia, New Zealand, China), or EU plug (most of continental Europe). The lamp itself supports full-range AC 110–240V, so only the plug shape needs to match — no transformer is required. Is a light bulb included? No. The Akari takes a standard E26 or E27 screw-base bulb, sold separately. We recommend a warm white LED (2700K–3000K, 5–8W) for the most flattering glow through the paper shade, and to keep heat output low. Why are there small glue marks on the edge of my lampshade? Akari shades are assembled by hand using a meticulous paper-and-glue bonding process. Minor glue traces along the edges are inherent to this traditional craft and are considered normal — not a quality defect. Each shade is subtly different as a result.
