ASANO SHOTEN:
Kinka lanterns
The contemporary Kinka Lanterns are handmade from Washi - a Japanese paper made from mulberry wood. Creating a soft, atmospheric light indoors or out, these battery-operated LED lanterns are designed to provide a contemporary answer to a traditional need by incorporating digital technology that is safer, healthier and more convenient than the use of conventional candles.
