At his shop in Lower Lascar Row (popularly known as Cat Street) an old Chinese craftsman fashions lanterns little different from those which fascinated the first European voyagers to the East. They are made of paper, silk or gauze and decorated with butterflies, fishes, lobsters, wizards and a host of legendary figures from Chinese mythology. Ornate 'palace lanterns are decorated with silk tassels and fringes.
