We got some lantern from him and they are with us in Zürich! We are still waiting for a wonderful spot to hang them (maybe after we move to another new place). We got ours after almost a year of ordering them and we were persistant. He has now moved from his old pre-war shophouse to another place near the old ferry jetty. He doesn't make lanterns anymore.  Hello, I loved your pictural tribute to the lantern maker. We got some lantern from him and they are with us in Zürich!

No lanterns, no lantern maker. I was obviously saddened and dismayed that this may be the end of an era. Any idea where he could have gone? Is there not a single traditional lantern maker left?

My best source (the Nyonya beaded shoe lady of Malacca--written up in many newspaper articles) said they didn't know anything about him. They don't think there is one in Malacca. So, our friend in Penang seems to be the last of the breed in the whole country. After seeing this place with you I went to Malacca & asked around about the other lantern maker in Malaysia.
