About the Item

Beautiful Blue Garden Lantern- Only One left in this large size, 18 inches high. Japan, a fine large vintage hand cast bronze Yukimi round top lantern with beautiful details from the middle Showa period. The striking and well proportioned old bronze is fashioned from solid bonze as roof kasa and light chamber and a handsome two foot base Hibukuro or kiso all with a handsome and original blue patina. Dimensions: 18 inches tall and and roof diameter 16.5 Inches. Hand cast. Lovely old natural blue patina. Hard to find this quality today for the discerning garden or sculpture collection. History of Yukimi lantern: Yukimi-do-ro 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. Lifetime guarantee of authenticity.

Japan’s stone lantern tradition is a concept that was imported from India and has existed in Japanese temples and gardens since the 7th century. Japan’s lantern tradition was originally conceived as entrance lighting and guardians to temples and pagodas and when lit served as an offering to Buddha. Some of the earliest stone lanterns were carved with Buddhist images on the firebox and usually had compartments for an oil lamp or candle. Later on, they became more secular in nature, and their use evolved as functional and decorative elements in traditional Japanese tea gardens where they served as a spiritual source of light for evening tea ceremonies. Often carved from granite stone, today’s vintage survivors serve as fashionable aesthetic elements in modern day Japanese and Asian inspired gardens. Today, during festivals and ceremonies, rice paper is often cut to fit lantern windows to increase reflection of candles placed inside them. Soon these paper lenses disappear and for one special evening and event, the glow is surreal.
