But also in regular houses, in the garden of even inside, authentic metal lantern bring a one-of-a-kind soothing atmosphere. The light inside the lantern can be arranged in multiple ways, a candle for a example. It is common to hang a metal lantern from the ceiling or the wall. Because of this the name in Japanese is Tsuridōrō (釣り灯籠), which means hanging lantern. Of course the lantern can also be beautifully put on display on the floor or a cabinet of some sort. Altogether this means that a Tsuridōrō is a multifunctional ornament with many options for variety.
This specific Tsuridōrō is made from copper and originated from Nara, Nara prefecture. This is very obvious from the illustrations and decorations on the panels surrounding the gridwork. The buildings and deer are exactly as the ones you can find at the famous Nara park.
