Lanterns in Japan, known as "chōchin," are an iconic element of Japanese culture, blending functional illumination with artistic beauty and spiritual significance. These traditional paper or silk lanterns, often adorned with calligraphy or intricate designs, can be found hanging in temples, shrines, restaurants, and during festivals, creating a warm and ethereal ambiance. Perhaps most famously, during the annual Obon festival, floating lanterns (tōrō nagashi) are released on rivers and seas to guide the spirits of the deceased, creating a hauntingly beautiful spectacle that embodies the deep connection between Japanese aesthetics and spiritual traditions.
