Okay, so imagine you're at a party and you want to put up some pretty lights to make the place look nice. Instead of using normal lights, you decide to use special lanterns called gifu lanterns. Gifu lanterns are round and made out of paper.
First, you'll need to fold the paper into the right shape so it looks like a big ball. Then you'll put a light bulb or candle inside the lantern. When you turn on the bulb or light the candle, the paper lantern will glow and give off a soft light.
People in Japan like to use gifu lanterns during special celebrations like festivals or weddings. They also have different designs and colors on them so you can pick one that matches the theme of your party. And that's basically what gifu lanterns are - fancy paper balls that light up and make your party look awesome!
