Our Lanterns
Beautifully handcrafted and inspired by traditional Japanese design, Toro Lanterns brings warmth and beauty to any room. Our lanterns feature art panels we have licensed from artists around the world. Or send us your photos to create a one-of-a-kind, personalized lantern. With our patent-pending design, you can easily swap your panels out for different seasons, themes, or moods.
Custom Shoji Design
Each Toro Lantern is expertly handcrafted using handmade Japanese washi paper, warm handcarved hardwood, custom-cut acrylic, and high-resolution ink. Every lantern is hand-sanded and finished to extremely tight specifications at our studio in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Interchangeable Panels
We offer art panels with an array of designs as well as customization options, so you can create a one-of-a-kind lantern that perfectly fits you and your space. Further, all Toro Lanterns feature removable panels that let you easily change the artwork whenever you want. You can change your lantern to create seasonal designs, match your décor, or switch themes to fit your mood.
Lanterns as Art
At Toro Lanterns, we have partnered with artists all over the world to offer an array of designs for our art panels. You can customize your lantern to look simple and traditional, quirky, fun or festive. And you can change the design anytime you want!
We are always seeking new artists to partner with. Please reach out if you think you would be a good fit!
From Vision to Reality :
The Toro Journey
Like many inventions, Toro Lanterns began when a group of artists could not find the product we wanted. We wanted a traditional shoji-style lantern that wasn’t just beautiful, but adaptable. Something we could customize. Something that could change with the seasons and reflect whatever inspired us in the moment. When nothing like that existed, we created our own. And the project grew. What began as a small idea turned into a handcrafted lantern ecosystem that blends tradition, art, and personalization into a single, meaningful design.
