Kaku Yukimi Ishi’dôrô’ 角雪見石灯籠 (φανάρι που δείχνει χιόνι σε τετράγωνη βάση) - Γρανίτης - Ιαπωνία - Πρώιμη περίοδος Shôwa (δεύτερο τέταρτο 20ου αιώνα).
A lovely, 5-part carved granite garden lantern, known as a ‘Kaku Yukimi Ishi’dôrô’ 角雪見石灯籠 (snow-showing lantern on square base) with a charming sleek design in a soft powdery ecru hue.
This type is the most well-known traditional Japanese lantern that is relatively close to the ground. ‘Yukimi’ is Japanese for ‘seeing snow’. This name was based on the fact that the ‘Kasa’ 傘 or ‘umbrella’ of the lantern can be covered with snow during the cold winter days. ‘Kaku’ 角 refers to the post, as the four legs together are square in appearance.

The individual parts are represent the following:
The bottom-most piece, sao 竿 (post) touching the ground, represents chi, the earth 地. The next piece, the chûdai 中台 ('central platform') represents sui 水 (water). Ka 火 (fire), is represented by the section encasing the lantern's light or flame 火袋 (hibukuro). Fû 風 (air) and kû 空 (void or spirit) are represented by the last two sections, top-most and pointing towards the sky.
Approx. dimensions:
Height 69.5 cm, Width 62.5 cm, Depth 54 cm.
The age of these lanterns is difficult to determine. We think that this one dates from the early Shôwa period (Second quarter 20th century).
It is in a very good condition. Please look at the photos for a condition reference.
We will use a wooden pallet and good packing for safe transport.
When shipped we will also add a certificate of authenticity.
