Shape of Glow-worm
 
Each stone carver from Makabe area has his own individuel, distinct style. So, every
"Glow-worm" is a unique masterpiece of carefully selected granite reflecting the stone
carver's  skills. Once you see the difference, you’ll never go back to industrial-made
lanterns again!
Please remember: all items shown are hand-made by traditional Japanese stone carver.
