Tradition and the future, and "Suzumo" that illuminates the heart ​

Suzuki Mohei Shoten is a long-established lantern shop founded in 1865. It is said that "Mizufu Lantern", which was born as an industrial promotion of the Mito domain, was originally a side job for lower-ranked samurai. The area was also known as Nishinouchi paper, a production area of durable Japanese paper, and along with the growth of Suifu lanterns, Suzuki Mohei Shoten also developed its techniques.
The lantern itself is a traditional tool, but what Suzumo values is to connect the skills through people. We do not forget that craftsmen are the key to lantern making, which is supported by handiwork, and we are building relationships and trusting relationships with them.

As far as I know, Suzuki Mohei Shoten continues to propose new lanterns that can be used in modern life without losing the technology that has been cultivated for 160 years as one of the existing creators. . In addition to the traditional elliptical shape, we are exploring new possibilities for lanterns, such as creating lanterns that are more interior-friendly, reproducing the fluctuations of light, and developing lanterns that can stand on their own. increase.
