SOUVENIRS > Japan Paper Lantern CHOCHIN
Sort by:

Japan Lantern had a frame of split bamboo wound in a spiral. Paper or silk protected the flame from wind.
The spiral structure permitted it to be collapsed into the basket at the bottom. The chōchin hung from a hook at the top. In present-day Japan, plastic chōchin with electric bulbs are still produced as novelties, souvenirs, and for matsuri and events. The earliest record of a chōchin dates to 1085, and one appears in a 1536 illustration.
