Overview
Inspired by 1951 Gifu Craft

The Akari Long Centipede Floor Lamp belongs to a family of paper light sculptures first conceived in 1951. The word Akari means “light” in Japanese — it describes both illumination and the physical lightness of rice paper suspended on the slimmest of frames.

Crafted from handmade mulberry washi paper stretched over a black iron armature, the long centipede form rises 74.8″ tall in a quiet, vertical rhythm — an ideal presence for entryways, stairwell corners, or beside a reading chair where soft, enveloping light is most welcome.

About the washi paper: Each shade is folded and mounted by hand. Fine fiber texture, subtle tonal variation, and gentle surface irregularity are natural characteristics of genuine mulberry paper — not manufacturing defects.
Why You’ll Love It
Handmade Mulberry Washi
Traditional Japanese paper, hand-folded over a wire armature — soft to the eye, warm to the touch.
Japanese Heritage Design
A 1951 silhouette rooted in the paper lanterns of Gifu — a mid-century classic that still feels current.
Soft, Glare-Free Glow
Paper diffuses the bulb into a warm, even light — gentle enough for bedrooms and reading corners.

 Good for the price

I absolutely love my new lamp! Everything just screws together, and I had it set up in 10 minutes. For the price, it’s a fantastic deal, and it looks exactly like the picture.

SO IMPRESSED!

I can see why this light is on the pricier side. I never realized how much high-quality lighting could impact my eyes. I often work late into the night, and the artificial light from my previous setup was causing discomfort. Even with 4-5 floor lamps, I never felt the lighting was right. After replacing everything with this light, I finally have perfect illumination. I don’t usually leave reviews, but I had to for this one!

Home-run for a floor lamp.

Some products just hit it out of the park, and this is definitely one of them. I was worried it wouldn’t be bright enough or that it would have that harsh 'daylight' bluish hue that many LEDs have, but I was pleasantly surprised!
