View translationKaku Yukimi Ishi’dôrô’ 角雪見石灯籠 (snow-showing lantern on square base) - Stone aggregate - Japan - Mid-Shôwa period (Mid-20th century)
No. 92879219
A stunning large 5-part carved stone aggregate garden lantern, known as a Kaku Yukimi Ishi’dôrô 角雪見石灯籠 (snow-showing lantern on square base).
This traditional Japanese lantern is set close to the ground. The term 'Yukimi' translates to 'snow viewing,' a fitting name as the lantern's Kasa 傘 (umbrella) gathers snow during winter, creating a picturesque scene.
Each segment of the lantern represents one of the elements:
• The bottom-most sao 竿 (post), which touches the ground, symbolizes chi 地 (earth).
• The chûdai 中台 (central platform) above it represents sui 水 (water).
• The hibukuro 火袋 (fire box), which encases the flame or light, represents ka 火 (fire).
• The upper sections embody fû 風 (air) and kû 空 (void or spirit), reaching towards the sky.
The hibukuro is adorned with a reticulated shippô (seven treasures) design on its panels, and one with a rectangular opening, to place a light source.
Approx. dimensions:
Height 85.5 cm, Width 75.5 cm, Depth 63.5 cm.
Dating these lanterns can be challenging, but we believe this one is from the Mid-Shôwa period (Mid-20th century). It boasts an outdoorsy patina from years spent outside and remains in very good condition. Please refer to the photos for a clear condition reference.
We will use a wooden pallet and high-quality packing for safe transport. When shipped, we will also add a certificate of authenticity.
