T-Light "Lights of the Gion Festival"

The Gion Festival, which brightens Kyoto's summer.

This festival, with over a thousand years of history,

has stories and wishes embedded in each of its yamaboko floats.

Inspired by their beautiful designs and history,

Hiyoshiya has created "T-Light," an andon-style light handcrafted by Kyoto wagasa (Japanese umbrella) artisans.

T-Light "Light of the Gion Festival"

This T-Light is adorned with motifs symbolizing the Gion Festival: Naginata Hoko,厄除け粽 (amulet chimaki), wagasa (Japanese umbrella), chochin (lantern), and hiougi (cypress fan).

Gansai (Japanese watercolor paints), which beautifully express traditional Japanese colors, were used for painting.

When lit, the glamour and vibrancy of the Gion Festival gently emerge,

making this a piece that evokes the summer of Kyoto.

These exquisite pieces capture the essence of the Gion Festival, a symbol of Kyoto's summer, within their andon-style lights.

Please enjoy them as seasonal decorations in your home or as gifts for loved ones.

About T-Light

A mini-sized cordless light that is easy to carry.

You can enjoy it anywhere, whether in your living room, bedroom, entryway, or outdoors.

An LED lantern is included with the product, so you can use it right out of the box.

You can also replace it with your own lamp if you prefer.

The light, born from the technique of Kyoto wagasa,

is characterized by the delicate beauty of its radially spreading bamboo ribs

and the soft light that filters through the handmade Japanese paper.

that has been handed down since the Heian period.
