Stone lantern sculpted in six parts from a fine-grained granite, a peach motif sculpted in relief on the domed roof element. Late-Meiji Period/Taisho Era ca. 1900–1920. Overall patination with virtually no loss. Height: Approximately 135 cm. A sturdily elegant, rounded foil to our stock #311, this stone lantern originally stood in a picturesque private garden in the Western suburbs of Tokyo. In Japanese culture, the peach symbolizes, among other things, longevity, a notion transmitted directly from Chinese culture. An intriguing, exceedingly uncommon piece. |
