Easy to post with a stamp attached

After drawing your feelings on the lanterns or the enclosed message card, put the letter lantern set in an envelope, affix a stamp, and voila! Even the time it takes for the letter to reach the recipient will be a little more enjoyable.

Sending an envelope gives it more of a letter feel, but if you want to give it as a gift with a sense of luxury, we recommend purchasing a special gift box as well.

It is also nice to be able to send a gift in an envelope for a more intimate gift, or in a box for a more formal gift, depending on the recipient.

Affordable size for easy decoration anywhere

The letter chochin measures 14.5 cm in width and depth and 16.5 cm in height; it is not too large and can be easily displayed in any location.

It depicts the symbol of Asakusa, Tokyo, commonly called "Kaminarimon," the main gate of Sensoji Temple, and the Wind God and Thunder God Gate. The touch of the painting has a somewhat pop impression and is very cute.

It can be placed at the entrance for a gentle light, in the bedroom for bedtime light, or in a variety of other places. It is also wonderful that it shows different expressions during the day and at night.

LED lights for safety and security

Letter lanterns come with LED lights designed to look like candles.

LED lights have a long life span, and the lights themselves are almost never hot, so they are safe and reliable even if you forget to turn them off. Another advantage is that they are cordless, making them easy to move and carry around.

It is a great gift for elderly people living alone or families with small children.

Ready to use! Easy to assemble with a small amount of parts

The chochin is made by simply assembling four parts. First, set the LED light on the tall handle. Then, the small base parts are inserted in a crisscross pattern, and the fire bag is placed on top of the base.

The LED light comes with batteries already installed, so all you have to do is move the bottom knob to turn it on and the light comes on.

Choice of patterns to match the season or event

Since Kaminarimon is a well-known sightseeing spot, it is also a good gift for people who live outside of Tokyo or overseas.

In addition, there are more than 20 other types of letter lanterns. It is nice to be able to choose a pattern for spring, summer, fall, and winter for seasonal greetings, or for Christmas cards, New Year's cards, birthday cards, and so on, depending on the occasion.

We hope you will give a letter lantern filled with traditional techniques as a gift along with your precious thoughts and feelings. It will be a gift with a difference.
