Gifu’s 6th and most recent postcard are of Gifu chochin, paper lanterns lavishly decorated and often seen during summer festivals around the prefecture. Several workshops that make them are in Gifu City, but as my visit there was cut short by the rains, I was only able to see them displayed around town.
They can also be bought in souvenir shops, though they’re pretty expensive.
A simple example of one
And a slightly better picture of one
So that concludes my Gifu posts! You can read about my Gifu trip here.
