Japanese vintage paper and silk lampshade lantern with family crest wood stand, Gifu Chochin, H34.4×W17.3in/H87.5×W44cm

These chochin are displayed in front of Buddhist altars during the Bon festival. The distinctive feature of this chochin, called "Gifu-daitan," is that it has a double-layered structure. The lower base is made of paper with a family crest, and the upper base is made of silk and layered. It is even more beautiful when illuminated.
The family crest is called "Maru ni 9 Sasa" (9 leaves on a circle) and is based on the motif of bamboo leaves.
The three-legged stand and top ornament are made of wood and coated with black lacquer for a luxurious look.
It is assembled and stored in a paper box. The lighting part is not included, so it is recommended to place an LED light or other light.
There is another item identical to this one, so if you would like a pair, please take a look at that one as well.
