Light the room, not just the ceiling.
A handmade washi paper lantern that glows like a soft paper moon.
- Over a tableHang it so the bottom sits 30–36 in above the tabletop: low enough to feel intimate, high enough to see across.
- Open spaceIn a hall, foyer or living room, keep at least 7 ft (84 in) clear underneath, more under a tall ceiling.
- The bulbWarm white recommended. For living and dining rooms, warm white around 2700K gives the soft, golden light most people want.
Drawn to scale from the listed dimensions, beside a 5 ft 9 in figure.
Will Birk suit your room?
A designer's rule of thumb: add the room's length and width in feet, and that number in inches is a good fixture width. Over a table, aim for about half to two thirds of the table's length.

How design help works Text a photo to (813) 790-7240 Email support@tiixo.co 9am to 5pm Eastern, 7 days a weekThe product
What is it made of?
The body is Handmade rice paper over a bamboo-ribbed frame.
Will it look like the photos?
Colors and metal finishes can look a little different from screen to screen, and lit glass can look warmer in person than in a daytime photo. If it arrives and is not as described, we send a free replacement or refund you in full, and we pay the return shipping.
What sizes does it come in?
It comes in 4 sizes: Akari 40A Dia 15.7″(40cm), Akari 60A Dia 23.6″(60cm), Akari 80A Dia 31.5″(80cm), Akari 100A Dia 39.4″(100cm). Pick yours under the price. Not sure which? The room check in the size guide works out the right width for your room, or email us your room size and we will tell you.
What finishes can I choose?
Wire Color: Black Wire, White Wire. Pick yours under the price. Warm metals like brass and gold suit cream and wood interiors; black sharpens a lighter, modern room.
Is it on sale?
Yes. It is 40% off in our Pre-Black Friday Sale: $182 instead of $307.20. The saving is already applied, so there is no code to enter, and delivery is free on top.
Can I dim it?
Yes, with dimmable bulbs and a compatible wall dimmer. Use dimmable LED bulbs with an LED-compatible dimmer (look for LED or CL on the dimmer label); an older dimmer made for incandescent bulbs can make LEDs flicker or buzz.
What color is the light?
Warm white recommended. Warm white around 2700K feels like candlelight and suits living rooms, dining rooms and bedrooms; 3000K is a touch crisper for kitchens and work areas.
Size and placement
How big is it?
Width: Ø 15.7 in / 40 cm up to Ø 39.4 in / 100 cm. Height: 4 sizes — Ø 40 / 60 / 80 / 100 cm. The size guide draws it to scale in a room next to a 5 ft 9 in person, so you can see how big it really is.
What size do I need?
Add your room length and width in feet: that number in inches is a good fixture width. A 12 by 14 ft room suits about 26 in. Over a dining table, choose a light about half to two thirds of the table length, and at least 12 in narrower than the table so nobody bumps it. The room check in the size guide does the math for you.
How high should I hang it?
Over a dining table or kitchen island, the bottom should sit 30 to 36 in above the surface. In an open room, hall or entry, leave at least 7 ft (84 in) clear underneath. For ceilings higher than 8 ft, raise it about 3 in for every extra foot of height.
Will it light my whole room?
A ceiling light gives the room its overall, ambient glow. For close work like reading or chopping, most rooms also need a lamp or task light nearby. In a larger room, or for a long table, two pendants or a chandelier plus wall lights spread the light more evenly.
Installation
Do I need an electrician?
Ceiling-mounted pendant; black or white cord. It connects to a standard ceiling or wall junction box. We recommend a licensed electrician; if you do it yourself, always switch the power off at the breaker first.
Can my ceiling hold it?
In the US, a standard ceiling box fixed to a joist is rated for fixtures up to 50 lb; check the rating stamped inside your box. Heavier lights, or boxes held only by drywall, need a fan-rated or brace-mounted box. An electrician can check yours in a few minutes.
Delivery and costs
Are there any extra costs?
No surprises. Delivery is free and tracked on every order, with no minimum spend, and there is no restocking fee if you return it. Any sales tax that applies is shown at checkout before you pay.
When will it arrive?

Your estimated delivery dates are shown right above the Add to cart button. Orders placed after 5pm ET start the next business day.
Do I need a discount code?
No. Sale prices are already applied, so the price you see on the page is the price you pay at checkout. There is nothing to copy or type, no minimum spend, and free shipping still applies.
Can I change or cancel my order?
Email support@tiixo.co with your order number as soon as possible. We prepare orders within 1 to 3 business days, so the sooner you write, the easier it is to change the size, finish or address.

Your order is our responsibility until it reaches you, so if it is lost on the way, we make that right too.
Can I return it if I change my mind?
Yes. You have 30 days from delivery to return it unused, in the original packaging with all its parts, and there is no restocking fee. For a change of mind, the return shipping is paid by you. To start, email support@tiixo.co with your order number and we will send the return address and steps. Your refund is processed within 7 business days of the return arriving (your bank can take up to 7 more), or we can exchange it for a different size or finish instead.
