In fact, any lamp made out of rice paper fixed on bamboo canes is called a shoji lamp.

You can use the round paper shoji lamps which come up with intricate random bamboo strips to create a texture of shadows.

They are either placed at the hallway or the corners of room or offices. The best ones are handcrafted by skilled artisans to ensure minimum imperfections. These lamps use two standard 60 watt bulbs which can be operated with on/ off foot peddle switch. Interestingly, the floor lamps themselves are a piece of stunning sculpture even when they are unlit.

The shoji lamps are pretty handy and we can place them wherever we want to see them according to their shapes. If we can get hold of some classic shoji table lamps, we can either place them on study tables or they can even be hanged from the walls. It is up to us how we can use the magic light illuminated through the white rice paper on the bamboo canes. The hanging shoji lamps are getting popular day by day. They are mostly used for office decorations. They can be hanged from anywhere and so, we do not have to worry about the space they will occupy.

We can also gift shoji lamps to the near and dear ones. Have you ever thought of picking up a teahouse shoji table lamp for your husband on your anniversary? We can actually gift our loved ones these lamps with magic glows.

Japanese décor items are getting popular primarily because we are sick and tired of the western ones and most importantly, we cannot ignore the charm of traditional and authentic Japanese aesthetics. Once we are in love with them, we will be picking up shoji lamps very often.
