This extraordinary piece combines traditional craftsmanship with a touch of magic. When illuminated, the inner paper cylinder rotates from the heat, causing the painted fireflies to flicker and glow, mimicking the natural light of fireflies in the night. The effect is both mesmerizing and serene, creating a whimsical atmosphere. The lamp comes with a sturdy original wooden case for safe storage. Please note that the case shows signs of wear, including scratches and a torn label, adding to its authentic vintage charm. The lamp exhibits some signs of aging, such as small holes in the mesh, rust, and stains. These imperfections are consistent with its age and use. Please refer to the photos for a detailed view of the condition. When the light is turned on, the paper tube inside rotates for about 10 minutes, but then, for reasons unknown, it stops. It starts rotating again if slightly shaken. The part that emits light, resembling a firefly's tail, is round and almost entirely open. The power plug of this lamp is made for the Japanese market so it doesn't necessarily work overseas. Dimensions: approx. H 47.5 cm W 23 cm D 23 cm You can see how the lantern's firefly light shines by visiting our Instagram account below. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C73hJ-2xgGt/?hl=ja ・Please make sure to review all the provided information and images before placing your bid. ・We make every effort to accurately represent the product's colors and textures in our photos.
