Edo Hand-Painted Chochin: The Art of the Traditional Japanese Lantern

"Edo Hand-Painted Lanterns" is a traditional Tokyo craft that blossomed alongside the vibrant culture of Asakusa in the mid-Edo period. A defining characteristic of this Japanese lantern is the specialized division of labor: the construction of the form and the "painting" are distinct arts. This piece is finished by a master painter who breathes life into the paper lantern with every soulful brushstroke. The highlight lies in the "Edo characters" and family crests, rendered in rich, deep ink. Unlike confined text, the brushwork on this chochin is bold and unconstrained, creating a striking contrast that embodies "Iki"—the stylish aesthetic of old Edo.

Namidabashi Oshimaya Chochin: Edo Hand-Painted JapaneseLantern

Carrying the legacy of the "Oshimaya" name from the 18th century, Namidabashi Oshimaya Chochin was established in Tokyo in 1913. Today, the third and fourth generations work shoulder-to-shoulder, preserving the intricate craft of Edo Hand-Painted Lanterns.Their mastery lies in the brushwork. Painting bold Edo typography and family crests onto the fragile, curved surface of washi paper demands an unforgiving precision that machines cannot replicate. This human touch creates a deep, artisanal warmth that settles naturally into modern interiors, bringing genuine Tokyo history into contemporary living.
