Grain, at rest
Unlit, the paper shows a faint crisscross of fiber and a creamy ivory patina. No scent beyond the gentle, dry note of bamboo.
Under water
Switch on — the shade warms from within, turning a luminous golden-amber. No sound, no flicker; the light seems to breathe into the paper.
In low light
The glow pools at about 300 lumens, smooth and shadowless. A 2700K temperature that brings out wood grain and deepens the red of a clay teapot without casting a colored veil.
Scent
No perceptible fragrance, but the quiet warmth encourages the tea’s own scent to lift from the cup.
Underhand
Visual comfort is the note here — full coverage at kneeling height, no cold spots. The diffused circle expands gracefully to about two tatami widths.
Finish, over time
Dim it low and the room seems to shrink inward, holding a still, contemplative silence. A long, ambient farewell.
