ＫＯＴＯＲＩ Self-Standing Table Lamp shade Japanese apricot

This is a table lamp.
Formerly, Japanese people used to use lamp like this to read or write songs or story.
Or put it at courtyard as a decoration.
With putting candle light into it.
Its brightness is soft and tender.
Japanese people tend to prefer such delicateness.
I don't know why we do so.
But it is character of Japanese people.

I think this lamp is very beautiful.
It's detail is very sophisticated and fanciful.


If I had much money, I could buy...

I want it!

Japanese umbrellas Honshiki Nodate gasa set

Do you know "chamise"?
It is Japanese old teahouse on street.
If you had some chance to visit Kyoto, for example, you could see "chamise" at Kinkaku temple.
People eat dumpling "dango" and drink tea at "chamise" with great view.
It is a culture of traveler " -旅人- TABIBITO ".
They often rest at there and talk with others.

This culture is Japanese originality.
Everyone shares same space and talk.
Time goes so slowly.

I like it.

Please visit teahouse when you will come to Japan.


You need them to make "chamise" situation.
