Japanese Antique Garden Kasuga Lantern Book 19th Century
About the Item
This rare Japanese Garden Stone Lantern book contains over fifteen (15) antique woodblock prints of authentic old designs of Japan's most famous lantern, the "kasuga" lantern. Kasuga lanterns in Japan are quite famous as virtually every temple or shrine in Japan displays one of these enigmatic and treasured works of art.
This rare book is signed by the artisan woodblock print creator.
Kasuga lanterns take their name from Kasuga Shrine (Kasuga-taisha) in Nara, Japan which was the capital of Japan from 710 to 784 CE. An impressive display of several thousand Kasuga lanterns may be seen in Nara at the Kasuga shrine and "Deer Park". Kasuga lanterns were often gifted to the shrine on behalf of families and important personages. The kasuga lantern' are usually crafted from six pieces of stone: a base and platform are hexagonal in outline and have lotus petal designs, while its shaft is cylindrical, and the firebox (lamp housing ) is usually hexagonal as well.
