This Japanese stone lantern (ishi-dōrō) is a lovely example of a pedestal lantern (tachi-dōrō), used in the traditional Japanese garden to contrast lush foliage and cast light on its surroundings. The specific design of this lantern recreates the stone pedestal lanterns seen throughout the Kasuga shrine in Nara. The lantern's cylindrical column rests on a lotus pedestal base and supports a pagoda-form lamp housing carved with six sides, a scrolled roof, and a lotus-wrapped jewel finial. Originally used only at Buddhist temples, the lit stone lantern represents the light that overcomes the darkness of ignorance. Whether shining light on a walking path or tucked deep into the garden, this sculptural lantern brings balance and serenity to any space.

Lantern is comprised of six separate pieces.

“Over the years, I’ve incorporated many pieces from PAGODA RED into my designs. Not only can they balance new furnishings (and often new construction) by feeling more established, but the pieces emanate a sense of rich history, often leaving you wondering where they were in a previous life. These beautiful pieces carefully hand-selected by the team at PAGODA RED, coupled with their unbelievable customer service, make them a must-have for any home.”
