Also known as a Japanese lantern, it is a traditional lighting fixture with profound cultural significance and aesthetic value. Originating from the Heian period, it was initially used for lighting in temples and shrines, and later gradually became popular among the people, becoming an important part of festival celebrations and home decoration. Candles or electric lights are usually installed inside, emitting soft and warm light through carefully designed translucent parts such as bamboo weaving, paper paste, or glass windows. At night, the light and shadow effects of wooden lanterns are particularly charming, adding a sense of tranquility and peace to the surrounding environment.
