White Japanese Lantern

Decorate your home with this white Japanese lantern inspired by the famous geishas

The Japanese lantern was born in China in a non-folding version. Structured in bamboo threads placed in the meridian, it has retained its function as a lighting fixture. It was in Japan that the horizontal structure replaced the vertical structure.

The metal hook assembled at the top of the paper lamp allows easy hanging. Simply add a hook and hang it from a light bulb in the ceiling. It is also possible to use it as a lampshade.

The motif of this Japanese lamp represents a geisha. This young Japanese woman, introduced very early to the codes of presentation and the arts of all kinds, is famous for her elegance. She wears a traditional kimono and a fan, also foldable, called sensu.

Here are some suggestions for making this paper lantern a pretty home decoration:
