The main differences between a lamp made with cotton paper and one made with Japanese washi paper lie in the materials' texture, strength, appearance, and cultural significance:

1. Material:

   • Cotton paper: Made from cotton fibers, usually recycled cotton rags or linters. Cotton paper is soft, smooth, and flexible. It tends to have a more uniform texture and appearance.
   • Washi paper: Traditional Japanese paper made from the fibers of plants like kozo (mulberry), mitsumata, or gampi. It is known for being extremely strong, thin, and slightly translucent with a natural, fibrous texture.

2. Durability:

   • Cotton paper: Cotton paper is durable but can be more prone to wear and tear over time, especially when exposed to moisture or heavy handling.
   • Washi paper: Washi is exceptionally strong despite its delicate appearance. It resists tearing and is durable in the face of humidity and wear, making it suitable for long-term use in lamp designs.

3. Appearance:

   • Cotton paper: Cotton paper typically has a smooth, uniform look, which can lend a clean and minimalist aesthetic to a lamp. It can be either opaque or translucent, depending on thickness.
   • Washi paper: Washi has a more organic, natural look with visible fibers and texture. It is often semi-translucent, which gives lamps a soft, warm glow when lit, creating a more handcrafted, artisanal feel.

4. Cultural Significance:

   • Cotton paper: While widely used in various applications around the world, it does not have the same cultural depth as washi.
   • Washi paper: Washi is deeply embedded in Japanese culture, valued for its craftsmanship and often seen as a symbol of traditional Japanese aesthetics. Lamps made with washi carry an added layer of artistry and cultural appreciation.

5. Light Diffusion:

   • Cotton paper: The light diffusion from cotton paper is generally softer but may be less nuanced, depending on the thickness and quality of the paper.
   • Washi paper: Washi creates a uniquely warm and diffused glow due to its semi-translucent nature, which scatters light in a way that enhances the ambiance.

In summary, lamps made from washi paper often have a more refined, artistic look and offer superior durability and warmth in light diffusion, while cotton paper lamps are smoother and simpler in appearance, with a more accessible feel.
