Each Akari Light Sculpture is meticulously handcrafted in the Ozeki workshop, a traditional family business based in Gifu, Japan. The video offers a brief overview of the complex manufacturing process for these lamps, designed by Isamu Noguchi.
Isamu Noguchi’s Akari Light Sculptures (1951) are a series of lamps handmade by Japanese artisans using traditional washi paper. “The harshness of electric light is transformed, thanks to the magic of paper, into the light of our origins: the sun.” (Noguchi)
