Ozeki lantern company

Ozeki is a long-established Gifu lantern company that has inherited the tradition of Gifu lanterns since the Meiji era. It has collaborated with designers and artists to create new lanterns and also produces original products for modern lifestyles.

The first generation, Jishichi Ozeki, began manufacturing lanterns alongside retailing miscellaneous goods in the early Meiji era. In 1891, the second generation Jishichi specialized in the manufacturing and sales of Gifu lanterns. The company was established as a corporation on March 20, 1942 (Showa 17).
