角雪見石燈籠 - 花崗岩 - 日本 - 昭和年代(1926-1989)
A great, large 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).
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.
The hibukuro with a nice reticulated shippô design (seven treasures). The band along the chûdai with a relief design of stylized waves.
Approx. dimensions:
Height 82 cm, Width 77 cm, Depth 67 cm.
The age of these lanterns is difficult to determine. We think that this one is from the Shôwa period (1926-1989).It has a light 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.
