Japanese Paper Balloon -Nipponia nippon-
These traditional handcrafted paper balloons are made in the town of Izumozaki, Niigata Prefecture. Niigata Prefecture is located in the north-east of the central region, and Izumozaki Town has long had a thriving fishing industry due to its location on the Sea of Japan. However, paper balloon making grew up as an alternative industry that could not be carried out in winter because the sea was too rough and boats could not be launched during the winter months.
More than 100 years after its establishment in 1919, the Isono Paper Balloon Factory is still making paper balloons by hand in Japan in accordance with Japanese traditions.
Although the paper balloons were originally made as a toy for kids bouncing, these days, they are now often hung and enjoyed as interior decorations.
Hanging from the ceiling , the balloons are swinging in the gentle breeze. Hanging near a window, they provide a refreshing breeze and a sense of the season.
As the thin translucent washi paper lets the sunlight through, they they appear to glow in the sunshine.
This adorable paper balloons are perfect for decorating a room for the party and for kids room.
No attached strings. You can attach thin thread or thin nylon string easily on the balloon.
Each balloon comes flat

<European Union customers>
As of July 1, 2021, the EU has introduced a new system of Import One stop Shop (IOSS) for small value imports, but we have not obtained an IOSS number and this store（Fantastic Japan) does not collect VAT from our customers.
Therefore, EU customers are required to pay VAT and handling fee to customs or courier service providers (FedEx or Post Office) when receiving the parcel. Please note that we are unable to calculate the VAT to be collected at the destination.
Our store at Etsy market place 「Someday Someplace」 collects VAT from customers at checkout on behalf of Etsy, and we ship parcels with the IOSS number which is provided by Etsy. So you do not have to pay VAT when you receive your package.
If you are unsure of how much of VAT you will be charged, we recommend you to shop at our Etsy shop. Please note that the IOSS system does not apply to purchase over 150 euros (135 British pounds), even on Etsy.
