Introducing the Japanese Lantern (Chochin)

Hello everyone! This is Yee.

If you have been to a Japanese festival, you may have noticed the lanterns on display.

Aren’t they pretty?

Japanese lanterns are known as Chochin or 提灯 in Japan.

Japanese lanterns were used as one of the lighting equipment in traditional Japan. They were used as skylights or to light up dark areas.

Nowadays, thanks to the existence of electricity, lanterns are no longer used in daily life. Instead, they are used as decorations at festivals or restaurants.

Doesn’t this look like a photo you would see on Instagram? Even though the lanterns are a part of the traditional Japanese culture, they are beautiful as decorations even in a modern setting.
