このセットには、一対の六角形のつるし灯籠(ろっかくがたつるしとうろう)—伝統的には使用されてきた - Material - Japan - Shōwa period (1926-1989)
Product Description
This set includes a pair of hexagonal hanging lanterns (*rokkaku tsuridoro*)—traditionally used in Japanese Buddhist culture—and a traditional *orin* (Buddhist ritual gong).
① Hexagonal Hanging Lanterns (*Rokkaku Tsuridoro*)
Based on the accompanying product information, these are identified as Buddhist fittings associated with the Jodo Shinshu (True Pure Land) sect. They are traditional ornaments used to illuminate Japanese Buddhist altars, creating a solemn and serene atmosphere.
The bodies feature intricate decorative details—such as floral and arabesque motifs—and openwork-style designs, embodying the beauty characteristic of traditional Japanese religious craftsmanship.
They are particularly distinguished by their hexagonal shape and decorative legs resembling "cat's paws" (*neko-ashi*). Signs of age, such as patina and minor scratches, give them the unique character of antique Japanese Buddhist artifacts.
These items are excellent additions to collections focused on Japanese Buddhist art, religious objects, antique interiors, or Asian decorative arts.

② *Orin* (Buddhist Ritual Gong)
This set consists of a brass *orin* (gong) accompanied by a cushion and a striker (*rin-bo*).
The *orin* is a Buddhist instrument used at altars and temples; it is struck to produce sound during sutra chanting, prayers, and memorial services. Its clear, resonant tone serves to signal the start of a ritual or mark important moments.
This is a relatively large *orin* with a diameter of approximately 18 cm.
The gong features a dark, antique-style finish with decorative gold lines on the exterior. It comes with a cushion featuring a traditional red-and-gold pattern and a striker with a handle finished in a lacquer-like tone. This is a complete set—including the *orin* (ritual singing bowl) itself, a cushion, and a striker—that allows you to experience Japanese Buddhist culture.
It is an ideal item for collectors in Europe interested in Japanese Buddhist art, religious objects, Asian antiques, and traditional Japanese crafts.
