Styles come and go, and materials with them, but the most classic among classics, wood, remains a constant and remains as fashionable today as it was one, five, or even ten centuries ago. The Japanese are particularly fond of wood, probably because it exists in such abundance in their land that no matter how much they use, they never run out of it, and award-winning local designers lend their talents to creating unique, exquisite items from the various woods produced by Japan's forests. The Wooden Light Bulb Socket and Light Bulb is one such item that will win you over immediately with its simple and understated elegance!
To be accurate, the Wooden Light Bulb Socket and Light Bulb isn't one item, it's three: choose which type of wood want – sakura (the famous cherry tree), hinoki (cypress), or kurumi (walnut), each with its own color, grain, and texture. The wooden part is the cover for the E26-type socket, which is good for incandescent bulbs up to 60 W, compact fluorescent bulbs up to 60 W, and of course the LED bulbs that are more and more becoming the standard in most homes. And so that you can use it immediately, the socket comes with a 1,000 mm (3.3 ft) power cord and 38 W clear E26 bulb!
