It's a perfect choice for your indoor or outdoor garden space. Call or message us to reserve this rare and tall lantern as it is one-of-a-kind Lifetime guarantee of authenticity. Oribe was the leading 17th century Japanese tea master after Sen No Rikyu -the father of the modern tea ceremony. Oribe designed this lantern to represent the secular nature of lanterns installed in private tea gardens- apart from shrine or temple applications . The Sanskrit lettering prevailed on some of these as Christian followers continued to practice their religion in secret and disguising their religious icons and graves as objects of Buddhist worship. It is thought that a version of Oribe lanterns may have the Greek monogram “IHS” (iota-eta-sigma) carved into the cross part of the base below the central platform.
