Paper Lantern
Lighting
Description
The Paper Lantern in Animal Crossing resembles a shoji-style lamp, inspired by traditional Japanese interior design. Shoji are sliding screens made from wooden lattice frames covered with washi paper, used for centuries in Japanese homes to diffuse natural light and create soft, calm interiors. Electric lamps modeled after this design became popular in the 20th century as a way to bring the same warm, indirect lighting into modern spaces. Like real shoji lighting, the Paper Lantern gives off a gentle glow that emphasizes simplicity, natural materials, and a peaceful atmosphere.
How to get it in ACNH
Nook's sells this for 780 Bells, while Wardell sells it for 700 Poki.
How to get it IRL
I love it when fans create their own IRL interpretations of Animal Crossing housewares and sell it on Etsy. This replica of the Animal Crossing paper lantern was created by a small business in California. It's pricey, but it's top quality, hand-made in the USA, and supports a US small business. If you prefer (or if the Etsy seller has stopped making them), you can also find similar Shoji lamps on Amazon.
