Fuji Pendant
Designed by Toshiyuki Tani
Named 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.

Fuji takes the circular form of the traditional paper lantern and reshapes it into an equilateral octagon, eight faceted panels rising to a point, an echo of Mount Fuji's symmetrical slopes.
Remarkably, that shape is held by heat treatment alone: where a lantern would normally rely on a bamboo or wire frame to keep its form, Fuji needs none.
In place of a frame, the washi is worked over a cast PET resin structure, so light passes through the framework itself, and the structure casts almost no shadow on the shade. The paper glows evenly, its surface treated to repel water and stains with eco-friendly components throughout.
At the peak, a cone of natural-oiled Hiba wood, a prized, aromatic Japanese cypress, completes the pendant, bringing warmth and a note of craft to the composition.
Fuji comes from Mito, one of Japan's primary regions for paper-lantern craft - a tradition carried down through generations. It is one of three lanterns in a series with Shizuku and Tama: three different shapes sharing the same materials and craft.
Hung alone, each has its own character; grouped in a cluster, they compose beautifully together, varied in silhouette, unified in material and light.
Fuji sits well above a dining table, a kitchen island, or in hospitality interiors.

The washi paper shade is crafted by Mito, one of Japan's three largest lantern makers, and treated with a coating for water and stain resistance. The bamboo will develop a traditional amber hue over time. When used in a room with high ventilation or with lots of sunlight the amber color will appear sooner.
As a natural material, each pendant may vary slightly in appearance. Also, colors shown on screen may vary slightly from the actual product.
