This is a netted Japanese lantern plant (透かしほおずき), made from natural Japanese lantern plants. The leaves have been processed to show only the veins, with the seeds removed, and a crepe (chirimmen) craft ball inside. #Click here for the miscellaneous goods room I believe this was purchased somewhere as a handmade item. It has been displayed for a while. Larger Japanese lantern plants are used. This is a set of 2. The crepe (chirimmen) craft balls have gold thread edging and are carefully crafted with flower-shaped fasteners at the top and bottom. Overall length: Approximately 10cm (including the calyx) *Please purchase with the understanding that this is a used item stored at home.
