Inspired by a traditional Japanese candle holder, this lantern sits on a scalloped steel ring with a wooden base made from regionally sourced hardwood.  It has a simple button switch and a cord made from modern lamp wire with a decorative cloth covering, ending in a traditional plug.

This lamp can be used for focused light or gentle illumination, depending on how it is turned.  Placed against a wall it can help to display artwork or provide a dramatic accent.
