'Mitsuashigata Yukimi Ishi'dôrô' 角雪見石灯籠 (linterna de nieve elevada por tres patas) - Granito - Japón - Periodo Meiji (1868 -1912)
A great, four-part granite garden lantern, known as a ‘Mitsuashigata Yukimi Ishi’dôrô’ 角雪見石灯籠 (snow-showing lantern raised by three legs).
This is a traditional Japanese lantern set close to the ground. The term 'Yukimi' translates to 'snow viewing,' aptly named as the lantern's 'Kasa' 傘 (umbrella) can gather snow during winter, creating a picturesque scene.
Each segment of the lantern symbolizes an element:
The bottom-most 'sao' 竿 (post), which touches the ground, represents 'chi' 地 (earth); The 'chûdai' 中台 (central platform) above it symbolizes 'sui' 水 (water); The 'hibukuro' 火袋 (fire box) encases the light or flame, representing 'ka' 火 (fire); The upper sections depict 'fû' 風 (air) and 'kû' 空 (void or spirit), reaching towards the sky.
The 'kasa' boasts a beautifully detailed star motif in low-relief. The lantern features a hexagonal 'hibukuro' with rectangular openings for light placement.
Approx. dimensions:
Height 68 cm, Width 56 cm, Depth 49 cm.
Weight 107 kg.
The age of these lanterns is difficult to determine. We think that this one is from the Meiji period (1868-1912). It has a great outdoorsy patina by being placed outside for several years. 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.
