Kojima Shōten is a Japanese chochin (paper lantern) workshop founded in the late 1700s during the Kansei era in the Higashiyama district of Kyoto, Japan. The studio is now run by the ninth generation of the Kojima family, and every lantern is built by hand: splitting bamboo into ribs, winding the frame, and pasting washi paper one panel at a time using techniques passed down for over 200 years. Kojima Shōten supplies temples and shrines across Kyoto and has collaborated with Karimoku Furniture and Norm Architects on contemporary pendant lights. Supreme commissioned Kojima Shōten to produce a co-branded chochin paper lantern, hand-built using the same traditional methods.
