Asano Shoten has made Gifu lanterns (chochin) in the old castle town of Gifu, Japan, since Junsaku Asano founded it in 1917. Gifu chochin were designated a traditional craft of Japan in 1996, and Asano still makes its lanterns the traditional way: craftspeople wind thin bamboo ribs around a form, paste on thin washi paper and trim it by hand with a blade, using materials and parts made almost entirely in Gifu Prefecture, including hand-made Mino washi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBuy once: durability and care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWashi is stronger than it looks, and with gentle care it keeps its glow for years.
