Yamaga Lantern Folk Art Museum

山鹿灯籠民芸館

Yamaga Lantern Folk Art Museum exhibits masterworks of Yamaga chochin, paper lanterns offered for centuries to Omiya Shrine and refined since the Muromachi period into shrine, castle, and room-style pieces including the famous golden lantern of the thousand-dancer festival. Official pages also note craft demonstrations by lantern makers, Ichiro Tsuruta festival-poster originals, an Edo-period twin-dragon ceiling painting, and the 1925 former bank building registered as a national tangible cultural property.
