��Lanterns were first made during the Muromachi Period.
��I still put the ancient candle holder inside the lantern.
��There are about 40 people who paint in Tokyo today.
��The name is really simple.
��So if you just keep on doing the process, you start to see what the teacher is really doing.
��So people who wish to paint them freehand don't have the opportunity to practice that.
��The words on the lanterns and the Senja-fuda characters are similar in the use of their brush, and their thickness.
��In the writing class of the early days, I think the old people today know that people often said, "don't do the Chochin-ya!"
��But lanterns have white background, so things have to be the opposite for that.
��For making lanterns used in Bon festivals, I rub down the ink stick myself because the luster is better with ink.
