History of Japanese lanterns
Before electricity was available these Japanese lanterns played a huge role in everyday life. They had to be practical and durable as well as fitting in with traditional Japanese design.
They were very simple boxes or rectangles built from wood and covered in rice paper just like the sliding shoji doors in the house. The rice paper gave the light a beautiful luminous glow that would emulate the sunrise and sunset outside - two of the most aesthetically pleasing times of day. A candle would be placed carefully inside and kept within close watch.
Lanterns were placed on the floor usually in the corner, giving a soft ambient light to the room. It was not necessary to have many as the hibachi and fire pit were usually going and they would also provide light. Lanterns were also hung outside shops and businesses at night and strategically placed at palaces for guests and during ceremonies.
