Japanese Paper Swag Pendant — Plug-In Lantern with a Black Cord
Every lantern in this collection hangs from a black swag cord that plugs into a standard wall outlet — the black cable reads as a deliberate graphic line, and no junction box or electrician is ever involved.
With dozens of shade shapes and sizes on one listing, you can run matching plug-in lanterns down a hallway, hang a mixed pair in a rental bedroom, or drop warm light into any corner a hardwired fixture cannot reach.
Handcrafted Washi Paper: each shade is hand-bonded from mulberry-bark paper over a steel frame. Slight texture variations and minor glue traces along the edges are characteristics of the handcraft — not defects. Every piece is genuinely individual.
Why Paper Light Feels Different
Real Washi PaperTranslucent mulberry-bark paper diffuses the bulb into a warm, even glow — no glare, no hot spots.
Candlelight WarmthIncludes a 2200–2700K E26 bulb for the amber glow of light through a shoji screen.
FeatherweightAbout 2 kg — easy to hang, gentle on ceilings, simple to reposition.
Plug In — No Wiring5.0m black cord with an in-line switch 80cm from the plug. No electrician, renter-friendly, takes minutes.

Care & Maintenance

Keep Out of Direct SunProlonged sunlight can yellow or weaken the paper over time — best kept away from south-facing windows.
