Rare pattern for this red chôchin (paper lantern) black-based satin antique obi! I believe I never saw a kimono item with a lantern as main subject, this is really cool :3
This hand-held lantern with a simple handle (here made from bamboo) is called ぶら提灯 burachouchin. Many other types existed, like the bow-shaped handle sturdier yumiharichouchin, or the umanorichouchin meant to be used on horseback.
