The Kumiko Hemp Leaf Light Collection by Murayama Mokko blends traditional Japanese craftsmanship with modern function. Each piece is made in Kyoto using the art of Kyo Sashimono joinery, a woodworking technique that relies on precise interlocking construction without nails or metal fittings.
The lamps feature the Asanoha (hemp leaf) pattern, one of Japan’s most iconic geometric motifs. The hemp plant grows fast, straight, and strong, and for centuries it has been a symbol of vitality, resilience, and protection. In traditional Japanese culture, this pattern was often used in temples, textiles, and furniture to encourage healthy growth, long life, and good fortune.
Each light is handcrafted from Kyoto-grown Hinoki cypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa), a wood revered in Japan for its durability, soft golden color, and calming fragrance. The natural scent of Hinoki is said to reduce stress and promote relaxation, making it especially well-suited for living spaces, bedrooms, and meditation rooms.
The fine latticework casts a warm, patterned glow when lit, filling a room with soft light and subtle shadows. The careful layering of wood and light creates both a functional lamp and a piece of traditional Japanese art. Whether hung as a pendant light or placed on a table or floor stand, each piece brings harmony, balance, and quiet refinement into its setting.
Because every lamp is handmade to order by skilled Kyoto artisans, each one carries the precision and spirit of centuries-old woodworking knowledge. The craftsmanship ensures durability and timeless beauty, suitable for both modern and traditional interiors.
These lights serve not only as illumination but also as cultural expressions of Japanese design. They are fitting for living rooms, dining areas, reading corners, guest rooms, or spaces where calm and focus are desired. They also make meaningful housewarming gifts, symbolizing wishes for strength, longevity, and happiness.
