The design of the washi lights draws inspiration from a visit to the Japanese fishing village of Gifu, where Noguchi observed the fishermen in action. In addition to utilizing trained cormorants for hunting, they employed lanterns to attract fish. These lanterns featured bamboo ribs covered with delicate paper.
Noguchi adopted the concept of these traditional lanterns and incorporated it into his own creations, crafting light sculptures using wood and paper. Specifically, for the Akari Floor Lamp, the designer opted for mulberry tree paper, as it diffuses the light softly, creating a gentle and even spread.
