Making your own Obon lanterns

Today (August 10, 2025 [Sunday]), the "Obon Chochin Making Workshop" was held at the Kaneko Misuzu Memorial Museum.
This article shows the workshop in photos.

The workshop started by choosing the color of the base lanterns.

The curator of the Kaneko Misuzu Memorial Museum will teach you how to make them in detail.

Using magic markers, paints, stickers, etc., students draw pictures and letters of their choice and decorate them.

Light the inside and voila!

Everyone created their own works of art, including drawings inspired by their favorite characters, words, or poems by Ms. Misuzu Kaneko, or poems by Ms. Misuzu.

Participants said they had fun, wanted to take them to festivals and fireworks displays, and wanted to display them at home.

We are sure that the experience of manufacturing and culture will be a memorable part of your summer in Nagato.
