Japanese Lantern

I see a Japanese lantern, With gossamer petals, she grows, Crafted in intricate pattern, She gives a magnificent pose, Striking red and dressed in fringes, She inspires with bleeding tinges. 08.03.2021

I have heard of them, not sure I have ever seen them, but now I can visualize a Japanese lantern.
