| Noguchi Akari Lantern |
However, being the queen of the high and the low, I found a round paper lantern for you that is 42" in diameter and only $39. HERE Add a very affordable light cord kit, and voila you are in business!
I've used these lanterns since my student days decorating my first apartments, and then I used hundreds of them for my event design work. Clean and classic, it makes a wonderful visual statement.

Apparently link I gave to buy oversize lantern is out of stock;
Try this one - they have a 30" and 36" in stock (that would work very well for the lok) and you can get cord kit here too. xo xo
