At just under five feet tall, this is an unusually tall Japanese style lantern, and a wonderful alternative to torchiere style floor lamps popular in contemporary American home décor. It's a hand crafted lamp, built from kiln dried bamboo pole mounted on a thick disc shaped wood lamp base. The shade is tough, reinforced pressed pulp fiber paper, with wood collars at the top and bottom to help maintain its shape. Like a torcheire floor lamp, this Koru floor lamp casts indirect light. The difference is that a Japanese lantern casts warm, soft, diffuse light outward through the rice paper shade, instead of upward to bounce of the ceiling.
