Description from the seller

This is a stone lantern 石灯篭 made of natural stone (tuff 凝灰岩) from Kyushu 九州.
It's a lantern that preserves a more natural appearance, allowing you to enjoy the Japanese landscape.
With a height of over 30 cm, this stone lantern has a significant impact.
However, despite being over 30 cm tall, it weighs about 5 kg, making it relatively easy to carry and suitable for various locations.
It can be displayed indoors or on balconies and in gardens.
In any case, I believe this item is truly wonderful.
By the way, tuff is a rock formed from volcanic ejecta such as volcanic ash and sand.
Tuff is excellent in fire resistance, easy to process, and has a light weight, making it widely used as a building material.
As it's not easy to come by stone lanterns of this size, please consider acquiring one on this occasion.

Height 30.8 cm
Width 26.8 cm
Depth 16.2 cm
Weight: 7400 g

Condition:
The condition is generally good. The color of the stone may change over time, and there may be some scratches or stains. The adhesive surfaces on the top and bottom may peel off over time. Scratches may occur during transportation or packaging. We have posted many photos, so please take a look.

Atention:
The items listed for sale are all used collectibles.
Please consider them to have signs of aging, such as stains, scratches, scuffs, tears, discoloration, fading, fraying, and changes in thread color.
We will post as many photos as possible to make it easy to understand.
As these are old items, we appreciate your understanding before making a purchase.

Shipping:
The lot will be carefully packaged and shipped from Japan.
We will use either DHL or FedEx for a safe and secure transportation. It usually takes about 2-3 weeks for delivery, and the package will be shipped with a tracking number.
Import duties, taxes, VAT, and any other charges are not included in the item price and shipping cost. Please check your country's import duties before bidding.
