Inspired by the Japanese Akari lantern tradition of 1951 — the Xuanzhi table lamp uses handmade mulberry paper that softens light into a gentle, even glow. Like the fishermen's bamboo lanterns that first inspired the design, it transforms any space with a warm, tranquil presence.

Minor glue traces along the edge of the lampshade are a normal result of this handcraft process — not a quality issue.
