Portable candlestands have a handle attached that makes them easy to carry while walking around. This pair of examples is of iron. The upper surfaces of their wax dishes are decorated with the flowers of the four seasons in inlaid silver. One of the pair has daffodil, cherry blossom, wisteria, lily, and chrysanthemum motifs, while the other has plum blossom, Japanese iris, lotus, chrysanthemum, and maple leaf motifs. The surfaces of their legs and long handles have a check pattern, also in inlaid silver. (Paragon or Puzzle? Your Own Perspectives on Works in the Suntory Museum of Art Collection, 2024)
