Japanese GARDEN STONE LANTERNS

I love Japanese Stone Lanterns.

Lanterns are one of my favorite Japanese Garden items .

Of course, there "Authentic/Old" and, "Authentic New", and, the type can afford nd find locally in Honolulu Hawaii.

I found some at KISO STORE, in Waipahu, Hawaii.

They have been in business for decades.

They have a connection to a local guy that makes concrete Japanese type Lanterns.

I am so thankful and fortunate to have them here.

If not for them, I would have to buy and pay for shipping to Hawaii.

So far, I have 2 of their Tachigata doro ( Daitsuki ) and, another that I do not know the name / type of lantern it is..

Here are a few videos that are found from YOU TUBE , about  JAPNESE STONE LANTERNS :
