Evolved shoji.
"Kinari" is a specialty product from the eastern part of Tottori Prefecture, made using 100% Inshu washi paper in the Akari-na Contract, which allows 34.2% of visible light to enter through the entire blind. The slats, which utilize the texture of Inshu washi, spread a warm light throughout the room. It harmonizes not only with traditional Japanese rooms but also with modern interiors and office spaces. Since the slats are made of resin, they generate almost no radiant heat. It is recommended for windows that receive strong sunlight or when you want to create a calm atmosphere. It cuts 97.9% of harmful UV-A and UV-B rays that can cause sunburn and skin cancer. This helps prevent skin tanning and discoloration of interiors. *1 The light-filtering blind "Akari-na" is available in versions for corporations and individuals, differing in specifications, warranty content, and services.

Company information
The use of natural light has been practiced for a long time, and in Japan, shoji screens are a prime example. However, in recent years, there has been an increase in buildings that rely on artificial lighting without incorporating natural light during the day. While natural light has the disadvantage of being affected by weather and seasons, it excels in terms of openness, brightness, and quality of light. Our proposal is to create a space where natural light can be felt more comfortably and pleasantly indoors. This is our concept of "creating an eco-friendly and comfortable environment in harmony with natural light." Our main product, the Akarina C daylighting blind, brings in natural light and transforms it into soft, diffused light to brighten indoor spaces, thereby reducing the need for artificial lighting. Additionally, it minimizes the impact of outside temperatures, reducing temperature fluctuations near windows. As a result, it keeps spaces cool in summer and warm in winter, reducing the load on air conditioning and contributing to energy savings. The slats are highly durable and resistant to light, making them less prone to breakage and ensuring a long lifespan. With an anti-static treatment, they are less likely to collect dust, making maintenance easy. The Akarina C is an economical and environmentally friendly product. *The Akarina daylighting blind is available in versions for businesses and individuals, differing in specifications, warranty, and services. The version for businesses is called Akarina Contract (abbreviated as Akarina C).
