Japanese Lantern (Andon)

I hand make custom Japanese lanterns. These lights are known as andons. The lantern pictured is 12 inches tall, 5.5 inches wide, 5.5 inches deep and made with cherry. Each of the four sides features a kumiko panel constructed with basswood and shoji (rice) paper. These lanterns can be custom made to your spec (wood species / dimensions / plug and cord color and style) and will be priced accordingly. Please reach out with any questions or designs.
