A voluminous hand-folded Washi paper shade on a black tripod. Architectural sculptural icon.

The Akari 9A transforms your space into a sanctuary of calm with a luminous work of art. A soft golden radiance — mimicking the warmth of a setting sun — instantly melts away the day's stress as it fills the room. The 9A is a sculptural icon: a voluminous hand-folded mulberry paper shade perched atop a minimalist black metal tripod base, generously proportioned at 16.5" diameter and 23.6" tall.

It doesn't just illuminate your home — it breathes Wabi-Sabi serenity and architectural elegance into your living space, turning every corner into a curated retreat of calm and timeless design. Each piece is meticulously crafted by skilled artisans using centuries-old paper lantern techniques.

01

Voluminous hand-folded Washi paper shade

The 16.5" diameter shade is generously proportioned at architectural scale — more substantial than typical table lamps, anchoring substantial surfaces with sculptural presence. The hand-folded craft adds tactile visual interest; the larger surface area produces a wider warm light pool, casting golden radiance across the surrounding space.

02

Authentic mulberry Washi paper

Genuine mulberry paper (Washi) that "breathes" — creating warm diffusion that synthetic materials cannot replicate. The long natural fibers filter light into the soft sunset-amber glow that defines authentic Akari lamps; the warmth feels different from any synthetic shade.

03

Minimalist black metal tripod

Three slim black metal legs anchor the voluminous paper shade with quiet graphic contrast — the warmth of paper against the precision of dark metal. The minimalist tripod design lets the paper shade take visual center stage while providing stable footing for the substantial shade.

04

Bulb included · in-line switch · plug-in

Ships with a 3000K warm-white bulb included. Plug-in installation — no electrician required. In-line ON/OFF button switch on cord. Compatible with any dimmable E26/E27 bulb. 59" cord length.

Light as sculpture, tradition as modernity

At Stuberlighting, we believe that light should be felt, not just seen. The 9A honors the centuries-old tradition of paper lantern making while remaining unmistakably architectural in scale. The voluminous mulberry paper shade is hand-folded and hand-stretched by skilled artisans; the iron tripod is precision-engineered for permanent stability. The result bridges ancient craft and contemporary interior design — a lamp that fits Japandi, Wabi-Sabi, Scandinavian, and Mid-Century interiors at architectural scale, anchored by the authentic warmth that only real Washi paper produces.

Where the 9A sits best

Living room substantial side table — the 16.5" diameter and 23.6" height anchor large side tables with architectural sculptural presence; produces a generous warm light pool at seated eye-level.

Media console or sideboard — the voluminous shade matches the visual weight of substantial horizontal furniture; the tripod adds vertical lift against horizontal surfaces.

Entryway console table — first-impression statement lighting at the front of the house; the architectural scale and hand-folded craft read memorable rather than generic.

Primary bedroom dresser or substantial nightstand — generous scale for substantial bedroom surfaces; soft warm bedside glow ideal for evening winding down.

Japandi, Wabi-Sabi, Scandinavian, or Mid-Century interiors — the combination of voluminous hand-folded Washi paper and matte black tripod is signature to these design traditions at statement scale.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the lead time for the 9A? +

The 9A requires 5-10 days handcrafted preparation before shipping — each piece is built to order by skilled artisans rather than pulled from a warehouse. After preparation, free standard shipping takes 4-6 weeks to US/Canada addresses; expedited shipping (2-4 weeks) is available for additional fee. Total delivery timeline: approximately 5-8 weeks for standard, 3-6 weeks for expedited. We email tracking information once the lamp ships from our workshop.

How does the 9A compare to other Akari tripod table lamps? +

Several Akari tripod table lamps in our family. The 1A (10.2" × 16.9") is the compact entry tripod table lamp. The 1N (10.2" × 19.3") is the tall slim variant. The 3A (13" × 22.8") steps up to mid-scale voluminous proportions. The 9A (this fixture, 16.5" × 23.6") is the largest tripod table lamp in our family — architectural scale with hand-folded paper craft as the defining feature. Choose 9A when you want architectural sculptural presence; choose 3A for mid-scale voluminous warmth; choose 1A/1N for compact entry tripod elegance.

How do I care for the Washi paper shade? +

Dust gently with a soft feather duster or microfiber cloth — that's it. Do not wet-clean, steam, spray with cleaners, or use damp cloths; water permanently stains and warps Washi paper. Place the lamp away from humid environments (avoid bathroom counters, kitchen surfaces near stovetops) and away from direct heat sources (radiators, fireplaces). With basic monthly dusting, the paper maintains its appearance for many years; slight ambering over time is natural and part of the material's character.


For the warmest paper-glow effect, use 2700K-3000K LED or filament bulbs with high color rendering (CRI/Ra > 90). Cooler bulbs flatten the paper's natural amber undertone.

Each piece is handmade by artisans — slight variations between individual lamps in paper texture, frame geometry, and exact dimensions are part of the authentic hand-craft character.

Safety tested for indoor use in dry locations. Meets technical requirements for North American residential lighting installations.
