Japanese lanterns have indeed played a significant role in Japanese religious and cultural practices for centuries. Originating as facilities for lighting within Buddhist temples, they served practical purposes during daytime worship, purifying fire, and providing illumination. Over time, their significance expanded beyond temples to include shrines during the Edo period (1603-1868).

Lanterns have historically been crafted from a diverse array of materials, ranging from stones, bronze, and wood to ceramics and even paper, with variations tailored to size, intended use, and location.

This particular Antique Japanese Lantern, forged from bronze, has been modernised with an electric light cable, making it suitable for contemporary household use while preserving its traditional charm.
