paper lanterns

Paper lanterns are decorative light fixtures made from delicate paper stretched over a thin frame, often metal or bamboo. They are traditionally used in festivals, celebrations, and as ambient decor, providing a soft, diffuse glow when illuminated from within. Their lightweight design makes them portable and easy to hang, and they come in various shapes, sizes, and colors. Often associated with Asian cultures, especially China and Japan, paper lanterns symbolize hope, guidance, and good fortune. Modern versions can include LED lights, enhancing safety and brightness while maintaining their charming, festive appearance.
