I used “Ino Chiri” from JapanesePaperPlace.com. This paper comes in a large roll, but you can order the length you need. I believe they have a $100 minimum order. It might be best to make the lantern then measure how much you need. It’s super easy to cut with scissors or a sharp knife, but I’d hate for you to purchase a few inches less than you need!
They also have a wide variety of other papers to choose from on their website. It’s incredible stuff to bring into a home and light up! Please send me a photo of the finished lantern.
It would be nice to know which paper this is, exactly. I don’t want to order something that is not stiff enough to stand on it’s own. Great looking lamp!
I love the way the shade is one simple piece, not panels or separately built. I can imagine if it gets knocked around, the paper replacement is pretty straightforward. Very elegant design. Lamps and shades are so freaking expensive.
