Japanese Antique Edo Period Miyaji Lantern Kamakurashinto Wood Carving Kurade. Wooden carved Shinto shrine lantern from the Edo periodHexagonal base with fern-shaped canopy and jewel, in the Kamakura period style of temple lanternsApproximate dimensions: Maximum width 14.5 cm, height 23.3 cm, weight 418 g Material: Natural wood, lacquer, etc.

Condition: One repair on the hat, bottom nail repair. Japanese Antique Edo Period: This sets the historical context. Miyaji Lantern : The search results point to Miyajidake Shrine as a well-known location with many lanterns. "Miyaji" also means chief priest of a Shinto shrine. " Therefore, "Miyaji Lantern likely refers to a specific style of lantern used in Shinto shrines or one of a ceremonial nature, possibly associated with a shrine priest. "Shinto" refers to Japan's indigenous religion. The combined term likely indicates a lantern made in the Kamakura style, but for Shinto religious purposes. Wood Carving : The lantern is made of wood and features intricate carving.

This is a key detail about the craftsmanship. Kurade : This is the most ambiguous term. It could be a place name, possibly a typo for Kurate , a town in Fukuoka Prefecture, which would link it to the Miyaji area. Alternatively, "kura" means "saddle, " and "te" means hand.

It's possible it refers to a specific carving motif or style that resembles a horse saddle or harness. Given the other terms, a geographic origin is a strong possibility, but I'll present it as a unique and perhaps specialized detail of the piece.
