AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Item Description
A hexagonal Japanese-style hanging lantern. Cast metal with an attractive antique brown patina tinged with green. The hipped roof-style top features fine sayagata (swastika fret) patterning, with upswept eaves and serrated edges. Each side panel features openwork carving depicting dragons amid swirling cloud-and-arabesque motifs, with a band of cloud pattern running beneath the roof. One panel opens as a small door with a clasp, allowing access to the interior. The lantern stands freely on six splayed legs, with petal-shaped openwork on the base. The onion-shaped finial at the top has a small hole fitted with a movable hanging ring, making it suitable for both hanging and display as a freestanding piece. The openwork carving is crisp and the roof patterning is well-defined.

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 months by surface/sea mail.
Because Japan Post has stopped accepting shipments of goods valued at €150 or less to Austria, Denmark, Germany, Finland, France, Belgium, Portugal, and Luxembourg, we are required to use DHL for deliveries to these countries. Consequently, the shipping charges are considerably higher.
Please note that import duties, taxes, customs fees, and other charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer’s responsibility.
For customs clearance, your local customs office or delivery company may contact you by phone or email. To avoid any delays or the return of the parcel, please ensure that you can respond promptly to any such requests. If the parcel is returned due to an inability to contact you or
complete customs clearance, additional shipping charges, which may be more than twice the original shipping cost, will apply for reshipment.
Thank you for your kind understanding and cooperation. We will do our utmost to ensure that your item arrives safely and without any issues.
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.
