T-Light "Choju-giga"

History from the Heian Period and Choju-giga alive in the light

This mini cordless lamp is inspired by the national treasure "Choju-jinbutsu-giga" (Choju-giga),

which is also known as Japan's oldest manga.

The dynamic and endearing figures of rabbits and monkeys, appearing as if they are playing tag, are depicted in the design.

It's hard to believe these lively expressions and movements were drawn nearly a thousand years ago, yet they bring a smile to one's face.

This lamp delivers the charm and humor unique to Choju-giga, enveloped in a gentle light.

Small lamps created with the techniques of wagasa (Japanese umbrellas)

T-Light is made using wagasa techniques that have been passed down for over 1000 years.

The beautiful radial bamboo frame and the soft light transmitted through handmade washi paper.

The delicate craftsmanship of Kyoto wagasa making breathes life into this small lamp.

Like an andon, take the light wherever you go

The cordless T-Light is designed with a shade that covers the light, similar to an andon.

Since it's easily portable, you can enjoy it not only in your living room, bedroom, or entryway,

but also on a sunny terrace or outdoors.

When lit, rabbits and monkeys emerge through the washi paper.

Their forms, as if leaping out of an ancient picture scroll,

add a small joy to your daily life.

Experience the beauty and playful spirit cultivated by Japanese tradition, accompanied by a gentle light.
