Description

This exquisite Meiji era (1868–1912) antique Japanese ishidourou, or stone lantern, showcases a simplified, rounded form in five distinct sections. Carved from durable granite, the lantern rests on a natural form base that seamlessly integrates with its surroundings, embodying the harmony between human craftsmanship and nature.

The lantern features a tall domed umbrella section, known as the kasa (笠), which elegantly shelters a squat section below. The rounded design and careful proportions reflect the timeless aesthetic principles of Japanese garden art, emphasizing simplicity, balance, and tranquility.

Each section of the ishidourou has been meticulously carved to maintain both functional integrity and visual appeal, making it a stunning focal point for any garden or outdoor space. The weathered granite, with its natural patina, adds a sense of historical depth and authenticity, transporting viewers to the serene gardens of the Meiji era.

Perfect for adding a touch of classical Japanese elegance to modern landscapes, this tall stone ishidourou not only serves as a beautiful decorative element but also as a symbol of peace and contemplation, enhancing the natural beauty of its surroundings.
