Oribe Japanese Stone Lantern
First produced in the Momyana period by warlord Furuta Oribe, Oribe Granite Lanterns are among the oldest Japanese stone garden lanterns. The stone lantern is a classic representation of a “planted” lantern style due to its lack of base at the bottom. The Oribe Lantern has a Buddha carving at the lantern’s base, often thought to be that of a praying missionary, resulting in it being called the Christian lantern. The lightbox has two wooden windows, one on the front and the back. There is a sun on the left side of the lightbox and a moon on the right side. The Oribe Japanese Stone Lantern comes in four sizes. It is pre-drilled with a hole to insert electrical and includes 5 separately hand-carved pieces. Made of hand-carved granite. Our monk is a deep carving just like the original ones during the Momyana Period.

the stone lanterns being offered are very well made and add a nice touch to any back yard or garden, the addition of a stream or pond full of beautiful koi makes for an even lovelier area of rest and meditation. I hope to purchase some more when I can afford it.

My Oribe granite lantern arrived with my zenigata basin. What a delight. It is so much more detailed in person. The carving is beautiful and goes perfectly with my zen garden. Also, it is a 2-3 inched taller so you can bury the lantern without losing the height. I am extremely happy!
