Look for the moon and sun with reproduction signature of Isamu Noguchi (I. Noguchi) that authenticates these lamps as original Akari Lamps. Designed or inspired by Isamu Noguchi (1904-1988), each lamp represents a part of the creative vision of this brilliant Japanese-American artist. Considered icons of 1950s modern design, the lamps, designed by Noguchi beginning in 1951, are created from handmade washi paper and bamboo ribbing, supported by a metal frame.
