Are you thinking of building a Japanese garden? Then you must not miss out on having a Japanese stone lantern.
Zu Studio's Japanese stone lanterns are hand-chiselled from blocks of natural granite, using centuries-old skills by great stone carvers. Their designs, structures and way of making truly stick to the Japanese tradition.  As a result,  each of our lanterns is born to be unique, the texture, details and crystallize patterns are one of a kind.
Please notice that this lantern is not moulded, or cast. You might be confused by similar products at a fraction of the price. Keep in mind, materials and craftsmanship cost the most. Our lanterns are hand-cut from natural blocks of granite stone, not poured from acrylic, resin, concrete, cement, hypertufa or anything else. Also, there is a type of product on the market claiming to be made from cast stone. Be careful! Cast stone or reconstructed stone is not the real stone. It is a highly refined architectural precast concrete masonry unit intended to simulate natural-cut stone.
To be authentic to the tradition, taste, feel, and appearance,  our lanterns are cut out, hammer by hammer, chisel by chisel, from natural granite stone in salt and pepper colour. Unlike many cheaper lanterns moulded out from the same undetailed mould, every handmade lantern is unique, solid and stackable. On the contrary, those cookie-cut lanterns are identical, not layered and are light in weight. For example, a concrete lantern close to our size weighs only 1/3 of our lantern. and a resin one weighs only 1/8.
The total weight of our lantern is heavy, but each of them is layered and could be stacked together. Due to the materials being natural stones, the crafting and handling are both harder.
This lantern is called Nado Misaki, it is a variation of Misaki (岬), with a smaller lightbox and platform, to form a cute and elegant image. The Nado Misaki is the smallest stone lantern in our collection. Same as Misaki, it has four compartments: the platform, the lighthouse, the umbrella and the jewelry. The platform and the lighthouse are shrunk compared with the original Misaki, but the round, big umbrella is the same as the original, this design creates a stunning contrast and makes the lantern more delicate and airy. The lightbox has four windows, two large oval shape openings representing the sky, one small circle representing the sun, and one small crescent representing the moon. Each window can see through the opposite one.
Since this is a smaller version, the Nado Misaki can perfectly fit in any compact landscape design like on a balcony, or even in an indoor Japanese corner. Fits within a few square feet, this stone lantern can bring an instant peaceful and elegant Japanese feel to any of your designs.
