THE STORY BEHIND THE CRAFT
Fish Lanterns
Rooted in centuries of Chinese folk tradition, fish lanterns symbolise prosperity, abundance and good fortune.
Each lantern is carefully handcrafted through a series of traditional techniques, from shaping its delicate frame to covering, painting and decorating the body. When illuminated, the fish comes to life, glowing gently as though swimming through the night.
More than a lantern, it is a celebration of craftsmanship, cultural heritage and the beauty of light.
