This lantern stands along side of Sukibei transparent
fence of Honden main hall. It is designated as an important
cultural property.
The Copper Lantern
also is called Ghost Lantern because fire moves in a strange
way. There are many scars on the lantern because of sword attacks
by guards.
It was not strange that guards were scared of the fire in the
dark.
What was the true
color of the fire? According to a story, flying squirrel was
licking the lantern oil. However, truth is not clear.
