About Lanterns

Japanese stone lanterns were first used in ancient Shinto shrines where they served as votive lights. In the sixteenth century, Japanese tea masters included the stone lantern in Buddhist tea gardens as a means to light the way with their rustic beauty and rich light. From classic to contemporary, Stone Forest lanterns are informed by this centuries-old tradition.

Description: This Japanese stone lantern style is also known as a “snow-viewing lantern”, so named for the tendency of the broad roof to hold snow, merging the lantern with its surroundings. We carve these traditional Japanese lanterns in the finest quality beige granite and accent the light box with wood windows.
