The use of cast iron in Japan dates back to the 17th century, when iron was first imported from China and Korea. Japanese craftsmen quickly developed their own techniques for working with the material, and cast iron became an important part of Japanese culture and industry.
Floral motifs are a common theme in Japanese art and design, and this is especially true of cast iron candle stick holders. The intricate patterns and details of the flowers are often inspired by nature and reflect the changing seasons. For example, cherry blossoms may be featured in the spring, while chrysanthemums are often associated with the autumn.
