AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Beautiful cast iron pagoda, lantern / Tōrō lantern
A very rarely occurring model is larger and heavier, and the round self-closing door is usually square. In the last photos, you can see the big difference.
Dimensions are approximately 25x20x20 and 3.5 kilograms.

The pagoda has a quarter-turn opening at the bottom for placing a tealight.
Very nice air defense through the openings all around.
Nice for a pond or on a table.
The total dimensions are approximately 33 x 23 x 23 cm.
Can be used as a dai-dōrō (standing lamp) and as a tsuri-dōrō (hanging lamp)
The original paint will give way to corrosion over time if it is left outside.

The pagoda will be shipped by registered mail with a track and trace code.
