Edo Gata Ishidoro, Granite Miniature Lantern

Very beautiful stone miniature lantern. This ornament is made of pure green granite of the highest quality and features impressive details that have been engraved by hand. The authentic look of this miniature lantern makes it a great addition to anyone's interior or Bonsai display in particular.

The Edo Gata Ishidōrō (江戸型石灯籠) is very recognizable by the combination of round shapes in the lower half and more rigid shapes in the upper half. This type of lantern originated during the Edo period in Japan, also known as the time of the Samurai, after which the type was named after. The hand-engraved details ensure that this miniature ornament is a perfect replica of the larger version of the Edo Gata Ishidōrō.
