Rice paper lanterns came into use in Japan when paper was first produced there. They have been popular ever since. Of course now they're electric, not candles, and have distinctive modern design elements, like the decorative lattice rings and the convenient arched cross piece on the top collar. Although they look like expensive accent lamps, we import these lamps directly, and pass the savings on to our customers.
