Carved granite lanterns, basins, and sculptures are the most recognized and visually stimulating elements in a Japanese garden. Granite is a very dense, durable, and hard natural stone. Items carved from granite will last a lifetime and can be passed on for many generations to come. Thus, when choosing granite, select only high-quality granite that is carved with high-quality artistry. We take great pride in offering only high-quality carved granite items. Rest assured, when you receive one of our granite sculptures, you will have as much pride in the sculpture as we do.
Selecting a Lantern Size
When shopping for Granite Lanterns, choose a size that is appropriate to your garden. Visualize the item’s size in both height, width, and appearance in its intended garden placement. A small garden with an oversized lantern will feel overbearing, and a large garden with a lantern that is too small will feel un-proportional. If you are not sure, use objects around the home or garden as props to get a better feel for the size.
Selecting a Basin Size
When shopping for a Granite Basin, please choose an appropriate size for your garden and its surroundings. You want a basin proportional to other nearby objects such as a granite lantern or a tree. Visualize the item’s size and appearance in its intended garden placement. To easily visualize the diameter, mark the ground with a circle of the basin’s size in which you are interested. For reference, we have included some basic suggestions. Our 18″ basin is a nice size for small and medium-sized gardens. Our 2′ basin is perfect for medium to extensive gardens.
