Metal lanterns are seen in Japan as sacred sources of light. A widely used way to ward off evil spirits. Because of this, they can be found at temples and shrines throughout the country. But they are also very common in people's homes and gardens.<\/p>\n
Most Japanese metal lanterns can be placed upright, but it is customary to hang them on a chain. This is where the name Tsurid\u014dr\u014d (\u91e3\u308a\u706f\u7c60) comes from, which is Japanese for \u201changing lantern\u201d. There are various ways to light the lantern. You can use a candle or oil lamp, but an electric one is usually a good option as well. The light that shines from the lantern, and the silhouettes that are created as a result, create a particularly warm atmosphere.<\/p>\n
This specific Tsurid\u014dr\u014d was made in Nagoya. The gridwork on each side has a very beautiful pattern of squares. This was the inspiration for the name Hishigata (\u83f1\u5f62), which is Japanese for a square pattern.<\/p>\n
