This is a beautiful, vase-shaped paper lantern featuring a pattern of hibiscus flowers on blue washi paper. It is made using the techniques of "Gifu Chochin," a traditional craft of Gifu. Suitable as a Bon lantern, or for those who appreciate traditional Japanese crafts. Comes with a convenient hook for hanging. Candles are not included. Comes with a paper box. The box has some discoloration and stains. The lantern itself hasn't been displayed much, so there is no noticeable dirt or damage. Thank you for looking.
