The craft of lantern making in Gifu dates back to the 16th century. Gifu lanterns gained global recognition through Isamu Noguchi’s Akari light sculptures. Toshiyuki Tani, a renowned lighting designer, creates contemporary designs using traditional Japanese paper techniques to capture the subtle interplay of light and shadow.
The RON collection features an interchangeable lamp shade, allowing users to display two distinct silhouettes. The standard cord color is black, with additional cable color options available at our showroom.
Each light includes an E27 LED bulb (2700K).

I’ve had this Toshiyuki Tani RON lantern for a few months now, and it’s become a favorite in my living room. The washi paper creates such a warm, diffused light—perfect for evening reading. The bamboo frame feels sturdy, and I love switching between the two shades for different moods. While the price is steep, the craftsmanship justifies it. Only minor complaint is the cord could be longer. Definitely worth it for the ambiance it brings to my space.
