Vtg Japanese Hina Doll Furniture Lantern w/Box
This is a vintage Hina doll furniture lantern set. A bonbori is a portable lamp traditionally used to light spaces during times without electricity (a lantern more decorative than a common brazier). This large pair of lanterns sit at the very top of a hina display at the ends. The frame and post are made of wood lacquered black with metal accents. The lantern top is made of translucent white silk and has pink cherry blossom trees hand-painted on it. The two pieces connect via a screw at the top of the post. It comes with the original paper box.
