The Chochin - The traditional Japanese lantern (lamp)

Chochin are originated in China. They are commonly seen at the entrance of Buddhist temples, in traditional festivals and at the entrance of bars and Restaurants.

The chochin paper lantern is a traditional form of illumination in Japan, made from washi paper carefully glued on a bamboo cane frame.

The "Koh-shichi" (literally "Happy Seven") chochin is constructed using traditional lantern making techniques passed down from over 300 years ago. Most of the work involved is handiwork by craftspeople who are devoted heart and soul to the creation of these beautiful objects.
