Everything You Need To Know About Japanese Lantern Chochin

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

What is the Japanese Lantern Chochin made of, and what size is it?

This Japanese Lantern Chochin is crafted from paper and measures 17.7 x 9.8 in (45 x 25 cm). Its design features black, red and white handwriting signs reminiscent of the flag, along with motifs evoking typical local dishes.

What does the Kanji pattern on this lamp represent?

The Chochin displays a Kanji pattern, with handwriting-style signs in black, red and white that recall the Japanese flag. These markings are paired with imagery of the typical food that colors local dishes.

Can this lamp be folded for storage?

Yes. The Japanese lantern's structure is built from metal circles arranged horizontally in a spiral, which allows it to fold like an accordion. This is a key difference from the Chinese model, whose vertical frame does not fold.

What atmosphere does this lamp create, and where does the design come from?

This paper lamp is designed to bring a zen and relaxed atmosphere to any space. The Japanese lantern fixture is widely used across Japan; it first appeared in China and was later imported to Japan, where its folding, spiral metal-ring structure set it apart from the original Chinese design.

Hi, I'm Jade, founder of KimuraKami.

It started with one simple idea: Japanese style should be something you actually live with, not a costume you put away after one evening. Most of what we carry is clothing, and the rest is what goes around it: a mask on the wall, a lantern in the hallway, the cup you reach for every morning. I choose every piece myself, and I keep the ones I would use on an ordinary Tuesday.

Every order leaves here folded by hand, with a note. If something is not right, write to me and we will fix it.
