It’s kind of rare to see this sort of "artistic" lantern as most are generic in some fashion. I thought it was fun and different as lanterns go in Japan.

I took many photos like this and found some really terrific light design. I thought it provided an added touch to the photography.

This is my father-in-law’s tanbo located in Nagano-city Japan. It is quite large and together we plant and harvest the rice crop each year. It’s a lot of work, but very rewarding and the fresh rice is fantastic! You can check out more videos from Japan on my Jim Atwood in Japan YouTube Channel.

They are pretty cool to photograph and I have quite a photo collection so far saved up. This is a premium collection of Japanese Lanterns photographed in Nagano, Tokyo, and Nagoya cities. They range from all sorts of sizes, colors, and shapes. The Japanese Kanji on the lanterns is quite cool as well. Images by Jim Atwood Photography at http://www.jimatwood.net.
