I bought this Papermoon PM16 lantern for my living room, and it’s stunning. The Mino washi paper diffuses light beautifully, creating a warm ambiance. Assembly was straightforward, though the paper requires gentle handling. At $875, it’s pricey, but the craftsmanship justifies the cost. It reminds me of the serene moments during AEW National Championship events when the lighting sets the mood perfectly. Highly recommend for authentic Japanese decor.
