[Paper Lanterns] Paper lanterns are an essential decoration for traditional Japanese festivals. They not only add color to the rich atmosphere between festivals, but also express the meaning and rituals of each festival. [Summer Festivals] Lanterns vary in expression depending on the customs and festival meaning. The original purpose of the summer festival, the Kanto Festival, was to drive away summer illnesses and evil spirits. It later evolved into a festival to pray for a good harvest. [Obon Festivals] are one of Japan's grand traditional events, known as the Manto-e and Soul Festivals. They are a form of respect and sacrificial ritual for ancestors. In some places, grand celebrations and parades are held with lanterns. [New Year's Decorations] Lanterns are not only lighting devices but also symbols of poetic culture. Red lanterns, in particular, represent celebration, blessings, health, and good fortune. White lanterns are often associated with mourning and remembering the past. [Izakaya Decorations] Japanese izakayas often display red or white lanterns, which are sometimes decorated with graffiti by the owner. This is one of Japan's traditional customs and cultures.
