HANDCRAFTED IN JAPAN

ASANO PAPER MOON LAMPS

Japanese manufacturer Asano delicately handcrafts each lamp in the Gifu prefecture using high grade Washi paper and a spiral rib of bamboo. The process involves wrapping the bamboo around wooden forms and then glueing and applying each panel separately until the entire surface has been papered: a laborious and highly skilled endeavour.
