Fuji Pendant TSUMUGI Selected for the museum shop

Selected for the museum shop at Louisiana Museum of Modern Art

The washi is thin natural paper

its circle easing further into an oval over time

and the bamboo work of Suruga

assembled into a stool as considered in its construction as in its form

Fuji Pendant TSUMUGI Selected for the museum shopNamed for Japan's most iconic mountain, Fuji reimagines the round paper lantern as an eight sided cone a glowing, faceted mountain that rises to a peak and flares softly to a wide rim. The equilateral octagon is formed through heat alone, without any wire frame, and crowned with a small cone of natural oiled Hiba wood, like a summit. The washi paper glows warm and even, its surface treated to resist water and stains. Handcrafted in Mito, Japan.
