What is Lantern?
[[Image:Tyochin-Okonomiyaki.JPG|thumb|A [[Japan]]ese paper lantern.]] A '''lantern''' is a device that can be moved from one place to another, used to create light and to light up open areas. Lanterns may be used for giving [[signal]]s, or as general light sources for [[camping]]. They can have [[candle]]s inside, or use other things as [[fuel]], like [[alcohol]] or [[kerosene]]. Lanterns that give dim light are generally used as decoration. Lanterns are also used in festivals like the Obon festival in Japan. ==Related pages== {{commonscat|Lanterns}} * [[Lamp]] * [[Candle]] {{stub}} [[Category:Lamps]] [[Category:Decorations]]
