Capsule Lanterns Facts and Features
Capsule lanterns present a unique design that blends together the traditional lantern shape and style of the Gifu lanterns in Japan and the classic even-ribbed construction of the lanterns in China. Each capsule lantern is constructed with a collapsible frame and is intricately-handcrafted with thin metal wire that is coiled around an oblong-shaped internal template and covered with rice paper, nylon, or silk fabric.
Unless specifically stated, you can also install low-wattage lantern lights, like
LED lantern light kit, within each capsule lantern and illuminating them sheds a soft and warm glow that brings out more of the beauty and colors of their featured design. Because of the delicateness and non-water-resistant characteristics of rice paper and silk, we suggest hanging the rice paper and silk capsule lanterns indoors or the dry outdoors, and you can also choose our waterproof nylon capsule lanterns for long-term outdoor hanging or when anticipating rain during your special occasion.
Hang these capsule lanterns for the Chinese New Year, Asian festivals, and special occasions like weddings and birthdays, or simply as a Chinese or Japanese decoration to foster good luck and prosperity to your home, store, or office throughout the year. Decorate them in a festive fashion with other colors and styles of
paper lanterns, especially with their fellow
traditional Chinese lanterns, Chinese and Japanese
party supplies, and
party string lights to yield a vibrant, colorful, and Asian-inspired lifestyle on your special occasions.
