Discover our Bamboo Lantern for an authentic and inspiring Japanese decoration!
Known as chōchin, the folding Japanese lantern was widely used during the Edo period. It could be held by hand or hung. To create light, all you had to do was fold the lampshade, add a candle inside, and unfold the paper structure.
In the era of the first paper lamps, the round or cylindrical shape was maintained by a bamboo framework. Over time, these rods were replaced by metal, just as candles were replaced by light bulbs.
Our Japanese luminaire is round in shape and has a hanging system that allows it to be suspended from the ceiling, for example. The patterns represent bamboo, symbols very present in the Land of the Rising Sun.
- 💡 To avoid harsh lighting for the eyes, we recommend using our bamboo lantern. You can hang it on the wire connecting the ceiling to the light bulb thanks to its metal structure.
- 💡 Whether in your living room, kitchen, or bedroom, this Japanese luminaire will diffuse a soft and subdued light, creating a zen and relaxed atmosphere.
- 💡 If you’re looking for a floral pattern, opt for our Sakura lantern. Cherry blossoms are iconic in the Japanese archipelago, and a festival is even dedicated to them: hanami, which celebrates the arrival of spring and the blooming of buds.
- 💡 Discover our wide range of round or cylindrical lamps in our collection of Japanese lanterns. Simple and aesthetic, they will bring an elegant touch of Japanese decoration to your interior.
