A white koi with a single red mark on its head, the one deliberate accent on an otherwise quiet body. The Rising Sun Koi takes its name from that mark, laid on by hand like the red disc of a Japanese sunrise. Gold cutouts run across the white shade and warm to a soft glow when lit. It carries the restraint of Japanese minimalism and wabi-sabi, where a single imperfect detail is the whole point.

What makes it special

Rising Sun Koi arrives fully assembled and ready to hang, no crafting required. Each one is cut, folded, and painted by hand from washable paper fabric, the red mark placed on every piece individually, so no two sit exactly alike. Lit, the gold pinholes glow from within and the red catches warm against the white, so the lamp itself shimmers softly rather than throwing light around a room. It suits a hallway, a bedroom, a reading corner, or a home office that wants one calm, characterful focal point.

Good to know

• Dimensions: 46 x 20 x 25 cm (L x W x H)
• Ready to hang: arrives fully assembled, no crafting required.
• Material: washable paper fabric, a tear-resistant, vegan, paper-like fabric that keeps its shape and will not crease, tear, or sag the way ordinary paper does, and wipes clean.
• Assembled without glue: joined with interlocking tabs instead of adhesive, so unlike a glued paper lamp there is no glue to dry out or loosen with humidity, and the form holds for years.
• Handcrafted design: an original, 100% human-designed piece, painted by hand, with no AI at any step of the design.
• Lighting: optional cord available with an E27 (E26) socket, switch, and EU plug, suitable for LED bulbs only (bulb not included).

Whether for your own space or a gift for someone who loves Japanese design, the Rising Sun Koi brings quiet artistry and a single warm accent to any room.
