2) Why visit a store in person (vs. buying a cheap paper lantern)

Seeing a paper lantern light or paper lamp in person matters because:

Scale & glow: A 30-inch paper lantern or a tall akari floor lamp reads very differently in a room than on a webpage.
Material & finish: Many cheap lanterns use low-grade paper that looks flat and tears easily. Authentic Noguchi-style Akari shades use washi-like paper that diffuses light warmly.
Stability & wiring: Floor lamps need safe bases and proper wiring; in-store models let you test wobble and brightness.
Real light test: You’ll see how a lamp performs as a living room lamp, noguchi floor lamp, or bedside table lamp japanese alternative — and whether it creates the warm shadows you expect.

If you just want a decorative, disposable lantern, a cheap paper lantern can work — but for lasting, flattering warm lighting and reliable safety, invest in a quality Akari-style paper floor lamp.
