flanked by fiery red autumn maples

slim or wide trousers

It's mounted on natural bamboo ribs cut with a delicate pierced fret near the pivot and finished with a slim rivet

Japanese cast-iron lantern Silver flanked by fiery red autumnThe 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
