In Japanese culture, plum and cherry trees are symbol of life and good fortune because they bloom in the colder winter months. These beautiful decorative round paper lanterns are printed with branches of the plum tree and bright red flowers to symbolize growth and life. Use for baby showers or nurseries, decorate your home or patio or any other events where you'd like to bring good fortune. Each cherry blossom paper lantern is held open with a wire expander. Dimensions: 16" diameter (All lanterns sold without cord, cord must be purchased separately)
