About the Item

Here's a beautiful and unique way to accent your indoor or outdoor garden space with this rare treasure pair from Japan And receive Complimentary FREE SHIPPING month of March only in continental USA!. Japan, a signed smaller scale, stone Shrine Pathway Lantern "Kasuga", 150cm, 60" high, Meiji period, (1868-1912 CE). Two matching lanterns are available. The signed and carved stone Kasuga style lantern fashioned in six parts with an incised finial Hohju, lotus representational roof kasa, incised and carved “deer motif” light chamber with a stepped altar interior, Hibukuro, hexagonal mid platform nakadai, a signed and painted “Hounou” crane’s leg shaft sao and base kiso hand-carved of basalt stone and with appropriate weathering from a century of age. Provenance: one of a pair of pathway lanterns de-accessioned from a shrine from the Kumamoto area, middle Kyushu Prefecture, Japan. This simply carved Kasuga lantern is incised on its leg sao with word “Hounou” meaning offering indicative of donor patrons that commissioned such lanterns for installation and use at their local shrine. Smaller scale lanterns like these were often used to line pathways. The kasuga style of lantern is named for the Kasuga Grand Shrine, a centuries old Shinto Shrine located in Nara, Japan and famous for its abundance of stone lanterns leading up to the shrine. These scarcer size and style lanterns would make an ideal choice for any intimate indoor or outdoor installation. Many of our customers place "oil candles" inside the main sections making a romantic and enjoyable decorative accent for entertaining friends and family. They are a perfect choice for your indoor or outdoor garden space. These lanterns are one-of-a-kind pair and difficult to find today.
