Hey, those Japanese-kine lamp shades made of paper and bamboo that lie flat and expand to a round shape — where can get? With Iida's gone, I'm flummoxed. Shirokiya's doesn't have them either.

Re: Japanese lamp shades
Burl, City Mill stocks them. They're sold collapsed in clear packaging, and come in various diameters and length and shape. The spherical shape comes in small, medium and large sizes, and the tubular shape (rad' dude!) comes in 24" & 36" lengths. The light kit is sold separately, which is basically an incandescent light socket with a cord and switch, which clips to the wire frame inside. They run from $7.99 each and up (very reasonable). It's in the electrical department.
I'm thinking of incorporating that asian look into my place. Those paper shades create some nice light mood effects.sigpic The Tasty Island

Re: Japanese lamp shades
I actually found some at Shirokiya, by accident. They were well hidden. But they only had a few, and I got the last one of the medium size. I was actually shopping for a TV, as my old family one went toes-up last week. Shirokiya is always a good place to shop for Sony stuff.
Good to hear about City Mill. Marukai 99 just had some funky ones with advertising printed on them.
It's a snap to rig a pullchain incandescent socket with lamp cord and hang them almost anywhere. The light they put out is soft and even, and when the shade breaks down after a few years, it's cheap to replace. And they sway in the breeze. I like them very much. But I always got them at Iida.
Speaking of City Mill, there's a store that should have gone under when the big box hardware stores arrived, but they reinvented themselves and are filling a niche very nicely.
