TAKESENSUJI

The craftmanship builds on the traditional art of takesensuji, which is a technique traditionally used to make insect cages and paper lanterns, while adding a modern look and use.
The lamps are carefully handcrafted in Japan by the artist Tani Toshiyuki together with bamboo masters using nearly 1,000 bamboo strips.
Shop lighting

Tani is dedicated to keeping the traditional crafts alive with new artisans continuing the techniques.
