During this special exhibition, paper-lantern art is submitted from all across the country and displayed in the Udatsu Wall Historical District, an area that still retains the flavors of Japan’s ancient Edo period (1603-1868). As an exhibition requirement the lantern art must be created with Mino Washi, a traditional Japanese paper that has been created in the city for 1,300 years.
The beautiful paper lanterns show off the inherit characteristics of Mino Washi, like softness and beauty, and allow one to experience the unthought-of possibilities and potential for paper.
Please enjoy the mysteriously beautiful atmosphere of the festival, which is completely different than that of what one would normally experience at the historical district during the day.
