I bought this Toshiyuki Tani lantern for my living room, and it’s stunning. The washi paper diffuses light beautifully, creating a warm ambiance. At 46cm, it’s perfect for my space – not too bulky. The bamboo frame feels sturdy, though I wish the cord wasn’t white. Reminds me of the craftsmanship you’d see at campbell university’s design exhibits. Great value for authentic Japanese lighting.
