ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS:
Hold the openings of the lantern in each hand. Gently expand 
and collapse the lantern a few times like an accordion. This will 
help stretch the paper to help prevent rips once you insert the frame. 
The lantern has one small opening (the bottom) and one larger opening
(the top). The top has two small metal loops this is where the two nubs 
on the frame fit in. Gently insert the narrow end of frame into the larger 
opening of the lantern and insert the nubs into the loops of the lantern.
The Frame may bend a bit and this is perfectly normal. 

JAPANESE OBON - LANTERN FESTIVAL
Obon is one of the most important holidays in Japanese culture, and 
is a time of year when families welcome the spirits of the ancestors into 
their homes for a brief visit among their living descendants. On the last 
day of the three-day observance, families gather with the community to 
light the way back to the otherworld for the departing ancestors with floating 
lanterns called toro nagashi, or with large fires lit on the slopes of nearby 
mountains since the otherworld is traditionally regarded as lying beyond 
the sea or mountains. The ancestors are believed to depart for the otherworld 
guided by the illuminated lanterns and farewell fires.
