Old Castle｜Breath of Harmony 10

Old Castle – A warm stone-like texture that quietly reflects the passage of time

Its rugged yet orderly lattice evokes the stone walls weathered by centuries. Multiple layers of washi overlap, and the subtle variations in tone—left intentionally like traces of erosion—create a patina of age. When illuminated, soft light pools into the surface undulations, holding warmth like a castle bathed in the setting sun. Quiet in impression yet richly expressive up close, “Old Castle” offers both dignity and human warmth within its presence.

The light source is a bulb-shaped LED designed to minimise glare. The fibres of the washi paper gently diffuse the light, casting a gentle gradient of shadows across the wall and lending depth to the space. By day, it stands like a sculpture; by night, each individual slat glows softly, as if breathing— its presence is captivating, evoking a sense of the passage of time.
