Gifu Lanterns: Timeless Craftsmanship in Mino Paper and Bamboo

Designated as a National Traditional Craft in 1995, these lanterns are characterized by delicate craftsmanship that utilizes Mino Washi paper, which boasts a 1,300-year history, and bamboo.

Revered both in Japan and abroad, Gifu Lanterns are celebrated as exceptional pieces of interior lighting, blending traditional elegance with modern design.
