Why these are different
Bamboo ribs, tied by hand
Not moulded plastic. Each rib is split, sanded and tied to the frame, which is why the shade keeps its shape for years.
Washi, not printed paper
Real mulberry-fibre paper diffuses light instead of blocking it. The shade glows evenly with no hot spots.
Free shipping, 30-day returns

“The shade is the whole point. It turns the bulb into something soft you can look straight at.”

How does the 20% discount work?
Add two or more lamps to your cart and code BF20 applies automatically at checkout. It covers every product on this page and cannot be combined with other codes. It ends November 30, 2026.
Is this an original Noguchi lamp?
No. These are our own reproductions in the Akari style, made independently in Sichuan. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the Noguchi Museum or any official Akari licensee.
Which size suits my room?
A 26A or 21A reads well over a dining table. A 55A holds a living room. The Grand 75A–120A is for double-height spaces and stairwells. Every listing gives the exact diameter and drop.
How long does shipping take?
Each lamp is made to order, then shipped from Sichuan with tracking. Most orders reach the US, UK, Australia and the EU in 7–14 days. Shipping is free worldwide.
What if the size is wrong?
Ship it back within 30 days in its original packaging for a refund. Return shipping is at cost, and we will walk you through repacking a paper shade so it arrives intact.
