Is the snow lantern from China or Japanese?

Snow lantern is a Japanese paper lantern, which is usually used on snow angels in winter. Its name comes from Japan, because when it snows in winter, people will light a candle in the lantern, and the flame of the candle will heat the lid of the lantern and melt the snow on it, so that there will be no snow on the lantern and it can be seen naturally in the snow, so it is called snow lantern.
