Lighting sculpture created by Isamu Noguchi in 1952 from the encounter with Gifu lanterns, a traditional industry in Gifu. The nature of Japanese paper, which diffuses light softly, and the rough laying of bamboo skeletons, which form the framework, leave the shrinkage and wrinkles of the Japanese paper as it is. Made it work.
Framed version of Japanese paper used for AKARI. It has a delicate matte finish and is housed in an aluminum frame. It is a gem that feels AKARI’s lightness and ephemeralness in the subtle texture that leaves the shrinkage and wrinkles of Hon Mino paper.
