Inspired by Traditional Japanese Lantern Culture
What are Chouchin Lanterns?
提灯 (Chouchin lanterns) were used since the 16th century, they once lit up streets, shops, and temples. Traditionally, chouchin lanterns symbolize 光(light), 導き(guidance), and 幸運 (good fortune), often used to celebrate, communicate identity, and create a sense of peace and tradition. Today, they bring a warm, decorative touch to homes, festivals, and businesses across Japan.
Chouchin lantern designs vary by artisan, featuring colors like red (vitality, good luck) or white (purity, new beginnings), often decorated with kanji or hiragana to indicate their purpose — such as 祭 (festival), or 商 (business). Decorative models may also feature patterns or spiritual motifs for added beauty.

In Japanese anime, chouchin lanterns are used to set the atmosphere, signify a location, or symbolize cultural elements. They can represent traditional Japanese settings like temples, festivals and celebratory events, and even serve as a source of light for characters on a journey.
