T-Light “Gion Festival Lights”

The Gion Festival brings vibrant color to Kyoto’s summer.

With a history spanning more than a thousand years, it is filled with stories and wishes embodied in each of its festival floats (Yamahoko).

Inspired by the beautiful design and rich history of these floats, Hiyoshiya has created the T-Light, an andon-style lamp handcrafted by Kyoto wagasa (Japanese umbrella) artisans.

T-Light “Gion Festival Lights”

This T-Light is adorned with iconic motifs of the Gion Festival in Kyoto, including the Naginata Float, an evil-warding chimaki talisman, a traditional Japanese umbrella, paper lanterns, and a hyogi cypress fan.

The hand-painted details are created using traditional Japanese pigments, known for their rich vibrant colors.

When illuminated, the warm light gently brings the festive spirit and vibrant atmosphere of the Gion Festival to life, evoking the charm of a summer in 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.

A compact, portable cordless light that is easy to carry and enjoy anywhere, from living rooms and bedrooms to entryways, or even outdoors.

Each product includes an LED lantern, so it can be used immediately upon arrival. The lantern can also be replaced with a compatible unit if desired.

Inspired by the craftsmanship of Kyoto-style wagasa (Japanese traditional umbrellas), the light features delicate radial bamboo ribs and softly glowing handmade washi paper, which diffuses light beautifully.

This design reflects a timeless Japanese aesthetic, passed down since the Heian period.
