Thank you for coming! This is an authentic antique Japanese pair of bonbori (lanterns), a traditional Hina doll accessory. These lanterns are a crucial element of the Hina doll display, providing an elegant, soft light to the scene. The delicate paper shades feature beautiful patterns, and the lacquered wooden stands showcase the remarkable skill of the artisan. Their intricate design and purpose carry a rich history. This item was actually used, so it does have some damage consistent with its age and use which adds to its authentic charm. This antique set is a remarkable work that embodies the traditional elegance and history of Japan. W29cm (? The combined horizontal length of the two). We do not undervalue items or mark them as “gifts” – U. And international government regulations prohibit such practices.
