I bought this Toshiyuki Tani SHIZUKU lantern for my living room, and it really transforms the space with its warm glow. The washi paper and bamboo construction feel sturdy yet elegant. At 46x46x35cm, it’s perfectly sized—not too bulky. The included E27 LED bulb works great, though I wish the cord wasn’t just white. It reminds me of the calm focus during a Europa League match broadcast in my den. Solid build quality for the price.
