Kumo is a ribbed rice paper pendant light, with washi paper stretched over a bamboo frame and shaped into a wide, shallow dome. The paper diffuses the bulb across its whole surface, so the light reaching the room is soft and even, with no bright point to look at from directly beneath. That is the practical case for a paper lantern over glass above a dining table where people sit for hours.

The bamboo ribbing stays visible through the paper, so unlit the pendant still reads as a drawn, sculptural form rather than an empty shade waiting for the evening. That matters at this scale, because a Japanese paper lantern this size spends most of the day switched off and still has to earn its place in a living room, bedroom, stairwell or vaulted ceiling. The white or black cord lets it sit quietly against a pale ceiling or stand out as a graphic line.

Ten sizes run from 11.8 inches across up to 47.2 inches, the span between a quiet form over a side table and an architectural chandelier that sets the scale of a whole room. Over a dining table, roughly half to two thirds of the table width is the usual guide. Use an LED bulb, which runs cool behind paper. For indoor dry locations, ceiling mounted, so a licensed electrician is recommended for installation.

Akari ribbed paper dome pendant macro close up showing paper and bamboo ribbing

Paper does what glass cannot

Washi diffuses the source across its whole surface, so the light arrives soft and even with no bright point to look at from below, even sitting directly under it.

Ten sizes, and the size is the decision

11.8 inches reads as a single quiet form over a side table. 47.2 inches is an architectural object that sets the scale of a whole room. Pick by the ceiling and the table.

A shape in daylight too

The bamboo ribbing stays visible through the paper, so unlit the pendant reads as a drawn form rather than an empty shade waiting for the evening.

Frequently Asked Questions

About this light

Which size should I choose?

Over a dining table, roughly half to two thirds the table width works. 30D to 45D suits a side table or a small room, 50D to 60D most dining rooms, and 75D upward needs real ceiling height.

What is the shade made of?

Washi paper over a bamboo ribbed frame. The ribs hold the form and stay visible through the paper, which is what gives the shade its texture once it is lit.

Can the cord colour be chosen?

Yes, white or black at purchase. White disappears against a pale ceiling and black reads as a deliberate line, which suits a darker room or a longer drop.

Shipping

Do you offer free shipping?

Yes, we ship free on all orders, with no minimum purchase required.

How long does shipping take?

Orders are typically processed within 1–2 business days and transit times are estimated at 6–8 business days after dispatch.

Will I receive tracking information for my order?

Yes, once your order ships, tracking details are emailed so you can follow delivery progress.

Returns

What is your return policy timeframe?

You can return items within 30 days from when your order arrives for an easy return.

Do I pay a restocking fee?
