RARE ANTIQUE JAPANESE PAPER LANTERNS CHOCHIN NAGOYA 150cm LONG
Two vintage/ antique Japanese paper lanterns / chochin. They have wire and bamboo frames and a concertina action.

They each have an original label - Made in Japan, Nagoya. The company logo is a letter'K' in an oval.

Each lantern measures approximately 150cm long. These lanterns are indeed very old and also very unusual, but as an antique item made of paper, they have some condition issues - please see all the images. I have read that they can be restored and as an item of historical interest it would be worthwhile. The city of Nagoya was one of the cities where lanterns / chochin were manufactured during and since the Edo period; it had an abundance of the materials required, washi and bamboo, to produce paper lanterns.
