✴️Final Price Reduction✴️ Item from storage, long-term home storage This is a hanging Gifu chochin (paper lantern). It's made in the traditional style, so you can place a candle inside to light it. The flickering flame of the candle is very atmospheric, making it a lovely lantern. The part where you place the candle has a patent number and seems to be designed to hold the candle securely. ★Size★ ※Please allow for some error※ Fire bag diameter…approx. 27cm Height…approx. 44cm Handle length…approx. 21.5cm I hope to pass this on to someone who wants it or will use it. It seems you can use it as interior decoration other than during the Obon season. It's quite old and has some damage and stains in places. Please check the condition in the photos. Candles are not included. Everything in the photos is what you will receive. The original box also has a lot of dirt and scratches. I used a white string to hang it at home, so the string is still attached to the item. The knot may have loosened, so if you use the white string to hang it, please check the knot before displaying it. Please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to minor imperfections or seek perfection, as this item has been stored by a private individual. Returns and cancellations are not accepted after purchase. ⚠️It was stored with mothballs. You may smell mothballs when you open the box⚠️ Thank you very much. #GifuChochin #Chochin #BuddhistSupplies #HangingLantern #BonLantern #NewObon #Obon #ItemFromStorage #Vintage #BuddhistSupplies #MadeInJapan #Andon #TraditionalCrafts #Interior #ShowaRetro
