You don’t need a full home renovation to bring that atmosphere into your life — with just a few carefully chosen Japanese-style pieces, you can create your very own cozy corner of Japan at home. Whether it’s a soft-glowing washi lamp, or a beautifully crafted kiri wood box for storage, each item adds a subtle yet authentic touch of Japanese charm to your everyday living.

Next, we’ll introduce a few practical yet beautifully designed items, perfect for those who love Japanese aesthetics.

Japanese Washi Paper Lamp

1 SuGuri10 Mini Desk Lamp

The SuGuri10 is the smallest washi lamp in the KASOKEKI lamp series. Its compact, rounded lampshade is inspired by the translucent, gentle appearance of white currant berries, adding a serene touch of Japanese elegance to any space. 

The lampshade is crafted by artisans using traditional hand-made washi paper, made solely from natural materials like water, glue, and starch. Thin layers of washi are carefully layered to create a unique translucency. When lit at night, the soft, diffused light creates a warm and calming atmosphere without any harsh glare.
