Japanese cast-iron lantern Silver The colour is the whole

The colour is the whole event

The framing device turns an ordinary river view into something quietly ingenious

The sukajan was born as a post-war Yokosuka souvenir jacket with a rebel streak

flanked by fiery red autumn maples

Japanese cast-iron lantern Silver The colour is the wholeThe cast lantern shaped in dark Nanbu style garden form This lantern is a solid cast tr in the Nanbu casting tradition, its dark rust brown surface giving it a weighty, handcrafted presence. A pagoda roof with upswept corners sits above a barred light chamber, all raised on a base of broad arched legs, the whole piece carrying the matte, textured look of traditional cast work. The deep rust brown tone is the signature, warmer than a plain black finish
