【Paper Lanterns】 Paper lanterns, essential decorations for Japanese traditional festivals, not only add to the rich atmosphere of the festivals but also express the meaning and rituals of each festival. 【Summer Festivals】 The expression varies depending on the custom of white lanterns and the meaning of the festival. The original purpose of the Kanto Festival, a summer festival, is to ward off summer illnesses and evil spirits. Later, it developed into a festival to pray for a good harvest. 【Obon Festival】 is one of Japan's grand traditional events, also known as "Manto-e" (Lantern Festival) and "Tamashii-matsuri" (Soul Festival). It is a kind of respect and sacrificial ceremony for ancestors. In some places, grand celebrations and parades are held with lanterns. 【New Year's Decorations】 Paper lanterns are not only lighting fixtures but also symbols of poetic culture. Among them, red lanterns represent celebration and blessings, health and good fortune. White lanterns often evoke remembrance and reflection on the past. 【Izakaya Decorations】 Japanese izakayas (pubs) display red or white lanterns, and sometimes the shop owners write on them. This is one of Japan's traditional customs and culture. Thank you for viewing!
