Japanese Yame Lanterns: 200 Years of Artful Light

Yame Lanterns are a traditional craft from Yame City in Fukuoka Prefecture, with a history of approximately 200 years. They are distinguished by the "single-line spiral method," where a single bamboo strip is wound in a spiral, and the beautifully painted lantern shades adorned with motifs of flowers, birds, and plants. Using locally sourced handmade washi paper, bamboo, and lacquer, artisans produce around 3,000 varieties of lanterns, including Bon Lanterns for Buddhist altars and festival lanterns. Known for their soft and gentle light, Yame Lanterns have also gained popularity nationwide as elegant interior decor items.
