About the Item

This is a lantern box from the old days of Japan. The box is pasted with Japanese paper and painted with black lacquer. There is a description of "Meiji 29" on the back. The lantern box is a box that stores folded lanterns. Japanese lanterns have a long history, and it is said that they were introduced from China in the Muromachi period. In the beginning, it was not a foldable one like today, but a simple one with Japanese paper pasted on a box made of bamboo. After that, it was improved by Japanese hands, and by the end of the Muromachi period, it became the shape of a folding lantern. Why don't you add the beauty of wabisabi to the interior as an object of the space? Weight: 1kg
