Keep your lamp trimmed and burnin'

Still quite a few of these kakutou lamps on older merchant buildings in town. Most of them were gas lamps crafted in the Meiji and Taisho eras, and retain the glamor of that age. Now they are electric, or disused and deteriorating.
Helllo from barcelona, spain. Great Post about gas light. Some kind of lights…!!
Those are very nice. I don’t know why, but I love lantern shapes.
I may be joining you in Kyoto if I get lucky enough to find a job there, rather than in the uncharted wilds…
