Materials Specific Details

Continuous wire spiral instead of the normal bamboo. Tin top and bottom. I am guessing this was made as a cheap tourist lantern? This one with hunting dog motif. In surprisingly good condition. Re: #39 and 40, I paid 3300 yen for both, $23.92, June 2025 https://buyee.jp/item/jdirectitems/auction/k1186037912?conversionType=buyee_top_browsing_history Both were purchased and sent to me by my friend Ryoko Haraguchi and colleagues at Gallery Sind in Tokyo.
