Item Description: This is a vintage hexagonal iron hanging lantern (吊灯籠 / Tsuridōrō), crafted during the Showa era in Japan. Made from cast iron, this traditional Japanese lantern showcases a six-sided design with intricate lattice-style openings and a pagoda-like roof. Commonly used in temples, gardens, and traditional homes, this piece was likely intended for both ambient lighting and ornamental purposes. With its substantial weight and weathered patina, it evokes a strong sense of wabi-sabi — the Japanese aesthetic of impermanence and rustic beauty. Ideal for collectors of Japanese antiques, garden décor, or architectural salvage.
