The Akari 2N is among the wave of new Akari light sculptures that Noguchi designed in the 1960s. It features mulberry bark washi paper, and a hybrid form of sphere and cylinder. Its unique construction contains subtly irregular bamboo ribbing (higo) on the top half, and panels of plain washi on the bottom half.

Beautiful lamp. Instructions were a bit baffling, but once I paid close attention and figured them out, it wasn’t too hard to assemble.
