Introducing the "Asanoha" Kumiko Lantern, a masterpiece crafted with meticulous care at Ominato Bunkichi, a renowned workshop in Kamo City, Niigata Prefecture, known for its over 150-year tradition of Japanese woodworking technique called "Kumiko." Kumiko involves assembling small, precisely cut pieces of wood into complex lattice patterns without the use of nails. Each lantern is a three-dimensional puzzle composed of 200 wooden pieces. These pieces fit together seamlessly to form a perfect cube.

The "Asanoha" Kumiko Lantern is more than just a source of light; it is an art piece that adds elegance and warmth to any space. It takes 3-5 skilled artisans over 7 days to create one lantern, and the annual production is limited. This rarity highlights its unique artistic design and the value of its handcrafted artistry, setting it apart from common lighting options.

Crafted from the warm-hued Akita cedar, it invites you to experience the organic beauty and gentle aroma of natural wood. A sought-after interior adornment, this exquisite piece radiates charm from the moment it's unboxed. Infuse your home with the rich heritage and meticulous craftsmanship of Japan, where the "Asanoha" Kumiko Lantern serves not merely as illumination, but as a timeless story of artistry and elegance.Please use transformers or adapters that adhere to your local electrical standards.
