AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Item Description
This is a Japanese cast iron ornament in the form of a garden lantern (tōrō), in the style of Nambu ironware. It has a hexagonal pagoda-style roof with upturned eaves, topped with a rounded jewel-shaped finial (hōju). The roof is pierced with three openings. The hexagonal body rests on a three-legged stand whose curved, scrolled feet give the piece an elegant silhouette. The surface has a textured pale green finish over a darker base tone, which gives it a subtle, antique-like appearance.

The piece separates into three parts: the roof with finial, the hexagonal body, and the tripod stand. It was received as a gift several years ago and kept in storage without being used. It would suit a Japanese-style interior, a tokonoma display, or a shelf or desk, and it may also appeal to collectors of Japanese ironwork and incense-related objects.

The item will be carefully packaged and shipped by Japan Post or DHL, depending on the situation.

Due to the changes to the EU tax-free (VAT) system, Japan Post has become unable to ship certain goods valued at €150 or less to an increasing number of European countries. Depending on the destination and circumstances, the shipping method may therefore be changed from Japan Post to DHL.

Delivery normally takes approximately 3 weeks, or up to 3 months if the item is shipped by sea.

To avoid any delays or the return of the parcel, please ensure that you can respond promptly to any such requests.

Seller's Story

A Japanese living in Japan, I appreciate traditional and modern art. I specialize in selecting artworks that reflect quiet strength, refined beauty, and timeless craftsmanship of Japanese culture. My collection focuses on pieces that carry a story—whether traditional ukiyo‑e prints, contemporary works inspired by wabi‑sabi aesthetics, or handcrafted items created by regional artisans. I take pride in offering works that are both visually compelling and culturally meaningful. Every item is carefully curated for authenticity, condition, and artistic value, ensuring that bidders can participate with confidence. My goal is to connect international collectors with the richness of Japanese artistry—pieces that bring harmony, character, and a touch of Japan’s spirit into your home. I look forward to sharing these works with you and hope they inspire the same appreciation and joy they bring to me.
