About the Item
Handsome examples- first of this design we have seen.
Fine quality with original rustic garden patina.
A special and unique matching pair of tallest old "trellis" design lanterns and just look at their brilliant light bursting at night.....
Japan, this handsome quality pair (2) of old "trellis" motif tea garden lanterns are rarely encountered and especially as a pair in this original condition.
The trellis (treillage) is an architectural structure, usually made from an open framework or lattice of interwoven or intersecting pieces of wood, bamboo or metal that is normally made to support and display climbing plants, especially shrubs. Trellises can also be referred to as panels, usually made from interwoven wood pieces, attached to fences or the roof or exterior walls of a building. A pergola usually refers to trellis-work that is laid horizontally above head height.
In a convenient portable size and displaying original attractive patina over the original handpainted cream color, these lanterns may be suspended from their old loops or installed on any surface. Heavy hand cast, these beautiful lanterns are suitable for outdoor installation. The removeable underside cap allows easy access to insert your favorite lighting device.
Sturdy hand crafted quality.
Dimensions: Approximately 13 inches tall to top of loop and 4.5 inches wide
Good garden candidates- these are ideal accent sizes for a small outdoor or indoor Zen or Tea garden.
Provenance: Old American- Japanese garden.
Many of our customers place LED lights or candles or tea lights inside the main section making a romantic and enjoyable decorative accent for entertaining friends and family. It's a perfect choice for your indoor or outdoor garden space.

History of Japanese lanterns:
In Japan a to¯ro¯ (lantern) is a traditional lantern made of stone, wood, or metal. Like many other elements of Japanese traditional architecture, it originated in China. In Japan, toro were originally used only in Buddhist temples, where they lined and illuminated paths and lighted lanterns were then considered an offering. In its complete, original form the lantern represents five elements of Buddhist cosmology: Bottom touching the ground, represents chi, the earth, the next section represents sui, or water, ka or fire, is represented by the section encasing the lantern's light or flame, while fu¯ (air) and ku¯ (void or spirit) are represented by the last two sections, top-most and pointing towards the sky. These last two sections express the idea that after death our physical bodies will go back to their original, elemental form.
