Japanese Lighting
Japan is known for its traditional lighting fixtures such as Andon, Bonbori, Chochin, and Toro. In modern times, creative lighting designs have emerged from other traditional craft sectors, including Washi paper and woodworking.
In Japan, lighting serves not only as a source of illumination but also as a cultural aspect to enjoy the play of light and shadows. Traditional Japanese houses and temples showcase the changing light and shadows through Shoji screens from sunrise to sunset. The impression of indoor Fusuma paintings and Byobu also varies with the light. Derived from architectural elements like Shoji and Fusuma, a culture of enjoying the delicate shadows cast by intricate craftsmanship has led to the creation of interior lighting that combines woodworking skills with illumination.
Millennium Gallery Japan collects rare, limited-production lighting pieces, including those handcrafted by bamboo artisans with 800 years of history and Kumiko lighting assembled from 600 pieces of wood by hand. This lighting collection, steeped in a history of craftsmanship, is worth exploring.
