Sankougata

The lantern shown below is made from the granite taken from Kaba Mountain.
This famous mountain is located about 80km from Tokyo. In Japanese this lantern
is called: Sankougata which means:

Three light sources

which symbolize : The sun, the moon and the stars.
 
Each stone carver from Makabe area has his own individuel, distinct style. Therefore
every piece 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 lanterns shown are hand-made by traditional Japanese stone carvers!
