About the Item

Japan antique “Yukimi” hand carved granite stone lantern (also known as a snow lantern because of its broad roof), four pieces Dimensions: 25 inches high and 25 inches wide Period: Taisho to Showa periods, 1912-1930's. Quality: A beautiful example carved in finest quality Shirakawa; white granite. Four pieces. Best quality suited for the finest garden. This is not a Chinese reproduction! History of Yukimi lantern: Yukimi-dōrō (雪見燈籠?) 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. The traditional placement is near water, and a three-legged lantern will often have two legs in the water, and one on land but today they enjoy wide spread popularity placed in many different settings and in many different styles of gardens. The umbrella can be round or have from three to eight sides, while the fire box is usually hexagonal. Yukimi denotes water reflection. It 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 (17th century). (Thank you wikpedia).
