Everything You Need To Know About Japanese Lanterns Outdoor

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

Is this lantern suitable for outdoor use?

It is designed to bring festival warmth to a garden or entryway at dusk, but the shade is made of paper, so it should be placed somewhere sheltered from direct rain and wind. A porch, covered patio, or entryway is ideal, letting the design catch the evening light without exposing the material to the elements.

What design is printed on the lantern?

The white paper shade is printed with waves, cherry blossoms, a rising sun, and Mount Fuji, one of Japan's most recognizable motifs. This Fuji and Sakura pattern reflects the traditional chochin lantern style.

What size is the lantern?

The lantern measures 17.7 x 9.8 in (45 x 25 cm).

What is the lantern made of, and where would it look best?

The lantern is made of paper, in keeping with traditional chochin construction. Hung by a doorway or over a patio table, it recalls the relaxed atmosphere of an izakaya street, where a lit lantern simply means guests are welcome.

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.
