Asano Shoten opened there in 1917 and has stayed with the chochin ever since: bamboo ribs wound by hand, washi pasted on sheet by sheet, edges cut with a razor. Since 1999 its lantern forms have been drawn in CAD and laser-cut, so a century-old technique can carry modern shapes. Nearly every material, from the paper to the parts, comes from Gifu Prefecture. Paper Moon came from that craft meeting Shigeru Uchida (1943–2016), the Japanese designer of interiors, furniture and cities, who drew five lantern shapes for Asano in 1990.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy You’ll Love It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaper Moon 1 turns a bulb into something closer to moonlight. Uchida gave each of the five shapes its own character, and this one is a softly tapering egg. Off, it is a quiet paper sculpture; on, the washi glows and the bamboo spiral draws fine lines across it. Because each one is made by hand in Gifu, small variations in the paper are part of its charm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMade for Real Life\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt arrives flat in a gift box and opens out in moments.

Asano Shoten opened there in 1917 and has stayed with the chochin ever since: bamboo ribs wound by hand, washi pasted on sheet by sheet, edges cut with a razor. Since 1999 its lantern forms have been drawn in CAD and laser-cut, so a century-old technique can carry modern shapes. Nearly every material, from the paper to the parts, comes from Gifu Prefecture. Paper Moon came from that craft meeting Shigeru Uchida (1943–2016), the Japanese designer of interiors, furniture and cities, who drew five lantern shapes for Asano in 1990.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy You’ll Love It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaper Moon 2 turns a bulb into something closer to moonlight. Uchida gave each of the five shapes its own character, and this one is a gourd with a soft waist.

Asano Shoten opened there in 1917 and has stayed with the chochin ever since: bamboo ribs wound by hand, washi pasted on sheet by sheet, edges cut with a razor. Since 1999 its lantern forms have been drawn in CAD and laser-cut, so a century-old technique can carry modern shapes. Nearly every material, from the paper to the parts, comes from Gifu Prefecture. Paper Moon came from that craft meeting Shigeru Uchida (1943–2016), the Japanese designer of interiors, furniture and cities, who drew five lantern shapes for Asano in 1990.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy You’ll Love It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaper Moon 4 turns a bulb into something closer to moonlight. Uchida gave each of the five shapes its own character, and this one is a low, wide dome like a half-risen moon. Off, it is a quiet paper sculpture; on, the washi glows and the bamboo spiral draws fine lines across it. Because each one is made by hand in Gifu, small variations in the paper are part of its charm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMade for Real Life\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt arrives flat in a gift box and opens out in moments.

Asano Shoten opened there in 1917 and has stayed with the chochin ever since: bamboo ribs wound by hand, washi pasted on sheet by sheet, edges cut with a razor. Since 1999 its lantern forms have been drawn in CAD and laser-cut, so a century-old technique can carry modern shapes. Nearly every material, from the paper to the parts, comes from Gifu Prefecture. Paper Moon came from that craft meeting Shigeru Uchida (1943–2016), the Japanese designer of interiors, furniture and cities, who drew five lantern shapes for Asano in 1990.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy You’ll Love It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaper Moon 5 turns a bulb into something closer to moonlight. Uchida gave each of the five shapes its own character, and this one is a full, almost spherical globe. Off, it is a quiet paper sculpture; on, the washi glows and the bamboo spiral draws fine lines across it. Because each one is made by hand in Gifu, small variations in the paper are part of its charm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMade for Real Life\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt arrives flat in a gift box and opens out in moments.

Asano Shoten opened there in 1917 and has stayed with the chochin ever since: bamboo ribs wound by hand, washi pasted on sheet by sheet, edges cut with a razor. Since 1999 its lantern forms have been drawn in CAD and laser-cut, so a century-old technique can carry modern shapes. Nearly every material, from the paper to the parts, comes from Gifu Prefecture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy You’ll Love It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Mari is a Gifu lantern freed from its hook.
