Good condition with dark patina from weathering and appropriate age. The striking and well proportioned hand-carved sculpture is fashioned in five parts from granite as roof kasa and light chamber or base Hibukuro or kiso all with substantial patina from good age. hand-carved of a quality shirakawa stone Provenance: old Japanese garden, near Kyoto History of Yukimi lantern: Yukimi-doro or legged lanterns have as a base not a post but from one to six curved legs, and a wide umbrella with a finial either low or absent. Relatively low, they are used exclusively in gardens.[8] The traditional placement is near the water, and a three-legged lantern will often have two legs in the water, and one on land. The umbrella can be round or have from three to eight sides, while the fire box is usually hexagonal. Yukimi denotes water reflection. This form was probably developed during the Momoyama period, but the oldest extant examples, found at the Katsura Villa in Kyoto, go back only to the early Edo period . Only one available.
