The motherlands of decorative paper lanterns are China and Japan. However, nowadays, they are admired by many and are a popular choice for many occasions. Decorative paper lanterns are made in China and are usually put on the ground or suspended. These lanterns differ in shape, found crafted in square, oval and many other forms. Presently, paper lanterns come in multiple colours suitable for any occasion, though traditionally they are white.
The illuminative paper lanterns of China are typically positioned on the floor or strung up dangling and lit up. These paper lanterns are found in various forms. Some are round while some others are in circular and other shapes.Though conventionally paper lanterns are made of white paper, people now use many hues in making them.Chinese illuminative lanterns are made in roughly five different categories. They are labelled as "baby's bottom", "tomato light", "Buddha's gastronomy", "tomato lights" and "crystal magic".
The latter type is very large and generally used at religious festivals, while crystal magic lanterns in numerous shapes and designs shine brightly, reflecting their name. Tomato light lanterns are oval, very large, and typically red.
The Japanese paper lanterns are usually circular in design, although other shapes are also available under the Japanese label. The typical colour is white, although red is also used.China and Japan use similarly varied colours for lanterns, hence there is hardly any difference in lantern design from one country to the other.
Since Chinese and Japanese people use various colours for their lanterns, there is no observable difference between the lanterns produced. Unlike in bygone days, illuminative paper lanterns can nowadays be seen with beautiful wordings at many happy events. Chinese letters are just like kanji letters, so people who are unfamiliar with kanji do not notice the difference.
