Akari by Isamu Noguchi - Japanese Light Sculptures

Akari is the defining work of Isamu Noguchi's life - a collection of more than 200 washi paper lantern sculptures created in Gifu, Japan in 1951. Using washi paper and bamboo ribbing, Noguchi created forms that function as both lamp and sculpture. Every Akari lamp is manufactured by Ozeki - the sole maker of Akari in Gifu, Japan.
