These are also lovely - dozens of painted little paper lanterns with dancing tassels.
In the dining room, a set of golden pagoda lights delight some kabuki dolls.

The lanterns we decorated with are Japanese, but of course, the Chinese do beautiful lantern art as well. Here are some gorgeous examples from an exhibit a few years ago at Taipei 101 (photos by Theresa). Beautiful!
