Stone Lantern Kasuga Ishi-Doro Tea Garden Zen Edo
Hexagonal tachigata standing stone lantern in the Kasuga style, hand-sculpted in six parts from Izumo-ishi, a relatively soft sedimentary stone composed largely of volcanic ash. Mid- to late-Edo Period ca. 1800. Minor old loss and overall softening of the lines and contours. Excellent lichen accumulation.

Height: 148 cm.

A fine example of the classic hexagonal Kasuga-style standing stone lantern, featuring a rarely seen decorative motif encircling the upper end of the pedestal.
