In Korea, there is an adage that goes, "There is an ideal season to keep a lantern close," which highlights the fact that when fall arrives and the nights become cooler, it is a great time to read by a lantern. Back in the day when there was no electricity, a wide variety of traditional lanterns were used to illuminate the dark. For indoors, oil lamps, with wicks in oil, and candlesticks in various shapes were used. There were also floor lanterns and ceiling lanterns hung on beams and rafters. These traditional lanterns evolved into diverse other forms over time. Use colorful Hanji to create a beautiful wish lantern with Cintamani and Grating patterns.
