Blinds: from light blocking to light filtering.
The Akari Light Control Blinds feature special resin slats that block harsh light and transform it into a bright, gentle glow that spreads throughout the room. Even when the slats are closed, they allow for brightness, helping to maintain privacy and reduce the need for artificial lighting. This product evolves the traditional Japanese shoji screen function. The Milky 70 allows 61.9% of visible light to pass through the entire blind. It is recommended for north-facing windows or those not exposed to direct sunlight, as it becomes the brightest option within the Akari line. It cuts 99.8% of harmful UV-A and UV-B rays that can cause sunburn and skin cancer, protecting your skin from tanning and preventing discoloration of your interior. At night, projecting images onto the Milky 70 from inside can turn your window into a large digital signage display. *1 The Akari Light Control Blinds come in versions for corporate and personal use, differing in specifications, warranty, and services. The corporate version is known as AKARINA contract (referred to as "Akari C"). *2 Test results from the Fukui Testing Center of the Japan Textile Products Quality Technology Center, July 2022.

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 instead of 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: "Creating an eco-friendly and comfortable environment that coexists with natural light." Our main product, the Akarina C daylighting blind, captures natural light and transforms and diffuses it into soft light, brightening the interior and 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 cooler in summer and warmer in winter, thereby reducing air conditioning loads 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 attract 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 content, and services. The version for businesses is called Akarina Contract (abbreviated as Akarina C).
