This is a hanging square lantern from the Meiji period (1868-1912) with a Japanese atmosphere. This hanging lantern is made of cast iron and has an attractive dragon lattice. The roof has a tower-like structure that gives it a Japanese atmosphere. It is a lighting fixture that is hung from the ceiling and lit by an internal flame. The light that leaks from the delicate pattern creates a nostalgic atmosphere. It is a little rusty because it was hung outdoors, but that gives this lantern a sense of weight. Still, it creates a wonderful atmosphere. Please check the photos for the condition. It is a good size with a diameter of about 20 cm. It can be easily moved anywhere, such as to the balcony or garden. Take it to your favorite place and enjoy the beauty of Japanese lanterns.
