Stone lanterns were introduced by tea
masters to guide guests through gardens to the tea ceremonies held in the evening.
Nowadays lanterns are primarily for decoration, but they still retain their lighting
function. In a Japanese garden, a lantern provides an important focal point in the
overall beauty. When placed near a water fall or other water features, or along a
walkway, it enhances a specific feature of the garden and provides a peaceful quality
unmatched by other design features. Stone lanterns are heavily favored base on the
love of natural, plain material with rugged shape. Any other material lacks
distinction.
We at Nautilus Imports & Exports provides a wide array of
stone lantern styles. Hand-carved from granite, they provide lasting quality and
beauty in centuries to come.
