Capture the clean lines and simple beauty of Japanese woodworking with this traditional Andon or Japanese lamp (pronounced ahn-dōhn). This is the original, oil-lit style that is no longer commonly used.
modern andon designs with electric fixtures are plentiful and offer a wide range of design possibilities and levels of complexity for woodworkers.
The construction of the andon frame is very straightforward in appearance, yet its many small mortise & tenon joints and shallow rabbets present a wonderful challenge.
the traditional application of washi (Japanese paper) to three sides, keep the fourth side open, allows for easy filling of the oil and managing the sick.
Perfect for the tatami floor as a low lamp or be used on a tabletop.
