“Mikuni Chochin lantern Itoya” in Mikuni-minato (an old district in Mikuni) is a studio which values the traditional way of handmaking and handpainting. On this occasion we would like to meet customers’ demand to “make a chochin lantern from scratch”, by enabling you an “authentic chochin lantern making”, which starts from pasting the painted washi paper onto the chochin’s framework. It is a good opportunity to familiarize yourself with materials, such as Fukui’s traditional handicraft Echizen Washi, which creates a soft lighting characteristic of Japanese lighting.
