Japanese lamp with atmospheric lighting

For the human body, light is not just convenience but a matter of survival. Without the vital sun, our existence would be unthinkable. We usually notice how important light is to us in autumn when the so-called dark season begins. To avoid falling into a gloomy mood, atmospheric and pleasant lighting in our own four walls is especially important. Of course, artificial light sources are only a secondary substitute for natural light, but with the right lighting and shades, you can create a very pleasant atmosphere that can be stimulating, relaxing or simply cozy — depending on your needs. Japanese lamps, as often used in Japan, are perfect for this. Here, necessity became virtue and especially beautiful lamps were created. Japanese lamps are among the most beautiful designs in this area. Despite their simple construction, they are very sophisticated light sources.

When it comes to Japanese lamps, many think only of famous paper lanterns with candles. And this opinion is not entirely wrong. Many modern Asian lamps are based on these historical models, only now using electric bulbs. Today it is necessary to maintain a certain level of safety and eco-friendliness, which is not a problem for original Asian lamps. High-quality Japanese lamps are more than just wood and paper. Despite their impressive simple design from an aesthetic point of view, the production process of these outwardly simple Japanese lamps is complex. While cheap copies of Asian lamps are often made from plastic or low-grade materials, authentic Japanese lamps are made from high-quality materials such as quality wood or bamboo and covered with high-quality Japanese paper. Especially authentic is the handmade process of making shoji paper, which is also used in famous room dividers.
