To use the lamp the user would first place a small amount of oil in the bowl and then drape a wick over the side. The wick would then be lit using the oil as fuel. Evidence of past use can be noted in that part of the edge of the upper bowl is blackened from contact with the burning wick. The lantern is made of rough stoneware with a terra-cotta colored glaze. The lantern is in good condition with no cracks though there are several chips on the lip of the bowl as well as on the base. The appeal of this piece is heightened by a very dark and rich patina resulting from age and accumulated lantern soot. This old ceramic lantern dates from the Japanese Meiji period (1868-1912) or earlier and was acquired in the historic city of Shizuoka, Japan near the foot of Mt. Fuji. Size: Height: 1.0 inches (2.6 centimeters) Diameter of oil bowl: 2.0 inches (5.2 centimeters) Weight: 3.1 ounces (88 grams) More about Japanese lanterns: Lanterns have a long history in Japan and include many types such as ceramic oil lanterns as well as wood and paper varieties for use with candles. The first hand-held lanterns or chochin came to Japan from China during the Muromachi period (1392-1482). Many westerners are familiar with the oblong shaped dangling paper lantern called the bura-jochin which travelers carried before them on a short stick. These lanterns are commonly spotted in samurai movies held by soldiers racing after the hero during a nighttime chase. Less familiar is the Odawara-jochin or collapsible paper lantern which could be closed accordion-style and carried in the bosom of the kimono. These lanterns included a durable metal case to protect the lantern's delicate paper from being crushed. The lantern paper was often decorated with a painting or calligraphy, and the top of the lantern would normally include a handy lid which allowed the user to easily light the traditional Japanese candle before use.
