A small, cylindrical lantern. When folded, the upper and lower frames fit together and can be placed in the sleeve or pocket, so it is also called a pocket lantern, and was mainly used by travelers in the Edo period. It was usually carried in a cloth bag, with a bamboo candle holder or a netsuke attached to the end of the string, and hung from the waist. It was called an Odawara lantern because it was created by a man named Jinzaemon from Odawara (Kanagawa Prefecture), and by the time of the Kyoho era (1716-1736), it had become widely used throughout the country, and as a souvenir lantern, it became one of Odawara's famous products.

小型で円筒(えんとう)状の提灯。折り畳むと上下の枠が組み合わされ、袂(たもと)または懐中に入るので、懐(ふところ)提灯ともよばれ、江戸時代、主として旅行者が用いた。普通、携行するときには布袋(ぬのぶくろ)に入れ、口紐(くちひも)の端にろうそく入れの竹筒または根付(ねつけ)などを取り付け、腰に下げた。これを小田原提灯といったのは、小田原(神奈川県)の甚左衛門という人がつくりだしたからで、享保(きょうほう)(1716~36)のころには全国的に広く用いられるようになり、土産(みやげ)提灯として、小田原名産の一つとされた。 [宮本瑞夫] ©公益社団法人神奈川県観光協会"> 小田原提灯 ©田中淑安"> 提灯のおもな種類 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
