Description
Rice Paper Series — Lightness, Harmony, and Timeless Design
⚪ White cord version. A black cord version of this pendant is available as a separate listing — all specifications and dimensions are identical, only the cord colour differs.
Hand-bonded mulberry paper — minor glue traces are normal
Each globe is individually hand-crafted using the Chigiri bonding technique. Minor glue traces along the edge of the shade may be visible — this is a natural result of the hand-bonding process and is not a quality defect. Each piece will differ slightly from the next.
Swag-style plug-in — no hardwiring required
Runs on a 180″ (457 cm) cord with an inline push-button on/off switch — enough cord to swag across a ceiling hook and drop to the desired height. Simply hook, drape, plug in, and done. No electrician needed, fully repositionable.

Bulb & Light Source
E26 (US/CA) or E27 (EU/AU) — bulb not included
Compatible with LED and Edison filament bulbs. A warm-white LED at 2700–3000 K is recommended — the warm tone passes through the Kozo paper as a pure, ambient glow with the bulb completely invisible from the outside. A globe or standard A-shape LED at 8–12W is appropriate for most sizes. For the larger sizes (∅ 80 cm+) a 12–15W LED may be preferred for adequate ambient output. Avoid cool white which creates a harsh quality through the paper.

Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat is a swag pendant and how do I install it?
A swag pendant hangs from a ceiling hook rather than from a hardwired electrical box. Install a ceiling hook or swag hook at your desired position, drape the cord from the plug in a gentle arc across the ceiling to the hook, then let the pendant drop to your preferred height. The excess cord can be gathered or hidden along a ceiling beam. No electrician required — the plug connects to any standard wall or floor outlet. The 180″ (457 cm) cord provides ample length for most room configurations.
Which size is right for my dining table?
As a general rule, a single globe pendant should be about 50–60% of the table width for good visual balance. For a 4-seat round table of 90–100 cm: ∅ 50–60 cm. For a 6-seat table of 120 cm: ∅ 60–70 cm. For a grand dining room statement or large rectangular table: ∅ 75–90 cm. If you want the globe to dominate as a centrepiece in a high-ceiling space, the ∅ 100 cm or 120 cm creates a truly dramatic effect.
What is Kozo mulberry paper?
Kozo (楚) is the Japanese paper mulberry plant, and its bast fibres have been used to make handmade washi paper for over a thousand years. Kozo paper is prized for its long fibres, soft texture, and translucency — properties that make it ideal for paper lanterns. When light passes through Kozo paper, it is diffused evenly with a warm, organic quality that no synthetic material replicates. The paper is durable for its weight but should be treated as a delicate handcraft object.
How do I care for the paper globe?
Do not use water or damp cloths on the paper shade. For dust, use a very soft dry brush or low-power compressed air held at distance. Keep away from moisture and direct rain. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight, which may yellow the paper over time. The paper globe is delicate — do not compress, press, or store under other objects.
Is this lamp certified for North America and Europe?
Yes. It holds certifications compatible with North America, Saudi Arabia, Europe, and Australia and operates on AC 110–240V worldwide.
