Japan, an early “Buddhist” granite stone lantern with weathering from great age, and dating to the 18th/19th century. This is a classic tea master lantern style first observed in Japanese gardens about the 17th century.
Exceptionally rare, this lantern has an unusual figure carved on its lower pole base. This figure is thought to be a Buddhist figure which was infrequently carved on the lowest pole section and buried below ground by its owners to escape observation from potential religious persecution. Lanterns like this one has Christian symbols carved into the lower part of the pole base. During the Edo period, the age of the Samurai, Buddhism/Christianity was prohibited across Japan. As this lantern style was partly buried, the Buddhist symbols were hidden from the eyes of the authorities.
On this lantern's firebox we can view more weathered images additional markers of great age.
Dimensions: 72 inches high and 30 inches wide, five pieces
The striking and well proportioned hand-carved sculpture as an Oribe style lantern fashioned in five parts from granite as roof kasa and light chamber/base Hibukuro/kiso all with substantial weathering, lichen, and patina from appropriate relevant age dating to this early period.

History of Japanese Oribe lanterns:
Oribe was the leading 17th century Japanese tea master after Sen No Rikyu -the father of the modern tea ceremony. Oribe designed this lantern style to represent the secular nature of lanterns installed in private tea gardens- apart from shrine or temple applications . The Christian figure represented on its pole section prevailed on a rare few of these lanterns as Christian followers continued to practice their religion in secret and disguising their religious icons as objects of Buddhist worship.
