A beautiful tradition that transcends time. A high-quality lantern that conveys traditional craftsmanship to the modern era.
A delicate fire bag made with bamboo spokes, beautifully layered with silk and paper, a sturdy and luxurious base, finely crafted main body wood (18mm thick), a well-balanced and beautiful pattern, and lanterns created by traditional artisans who each demonstrate their skills. This is a beautiful lantern.

The painting on the fire bag is by traditional craftsman Mr. Takamitsu Inohara.
The elegant fire bag, which evokes warmth with its floral motifs, features vivid depictions of Hagi, Kikyo, and Fuyo flowers, making it a lantern that feels gentle despite its luxurious appearance.
It is a lantern that brightens the traditional Bon festival decorations, welcoming important ancestors in a lively manner.

The clouds and feet with maki-e lacquer work are by,
A traditional craftsman of Aizu lacquerware, Mr. Hiroshi Omori.
Carefully lacquered on the wood base and further decorated with maki-e. Not only the pattern on the fire bag but the entire lantern exudes an elegant impression.
The beautiful Kanji-style tassel with Kutani ware wind chimes also suggests that this is a special item.

A piece produced only a few times each year, becoming an annual event to display during the Bon festival, giving it a sense of exclusivity and tradition.
