Midori no Kokoro Tsuridōrō, Japanese Antique Metal Lantern - 2301-0052
Item description
Metal lanterns are seen as sacred light sources in Japan. They are very often used in Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines all over the country. But also, in regular houses, in the garden or even indoors, authentic metal lanterns bring a one-of-a-kind soothing atmosphere. The light inside the lantern can be arranged in multiple ways, a candle or lightbulb for 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 roughly translates to 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 marvelous options for variety.
The Midori no Kokoro Tsuridōrō is characterized by its fantastic gridwork that greatly shows what authentic Japanese craftmanship is all about. The lines represent the roots of plants that combine into a heart shape in the middle. Midori no Kokoro (緑の心) is Japanese for the green heart.
