This is Andon, Japanese traditional lamp. It was spread around Japan in Edo era.
Andon is a like a box made of wooden frame paper screens. In Edo era, people put lighted oiled cottons in it. Before the invention of Andon, people use only a lighted candle or cotton on the small plate as a lighting.
There are some type of Andon to suit to every aspect of life.
First of all, most of people used it as a floor lamp. People often sit on Tatami, Japanese floor mat with Andon. Also, everyone used it as the bedside lamp in case of emergency.
Secondly, People put a strap on Andon to bring it to outside. It helps people to go outside at night time.

Still now Andon is used as ornamental lighting in Japanese traditional style houses and shops.
