Description

Lanterns were traditionally used to light the way along paths to a buddhist temple and this is a particularly fine example, handsomely tall and elegantly proportioned.

Originating from China but incorporated into Japanese culture, these platform lanterns or dai-dōrō began to be used in Shinto shrines and even in people's homes and gardens.

The modern world has now adopted them to be used decoratively and they are particularly effective near water which is of course an essential element of a Japanese garden.

Although containing symbolism that we may not appreciate, in a purely decorative sense one or a series of these lanterns will be a wonderful enhancement for your garden whether or not it is orientally themed.

Gorgeous lantern

We are delighted with this garden statue. It makes our garden design perfect although it is an oriental lantern it still looks great as a centre piece to our path without being an oriental garden design. We were pleased with the cost and delivery from the garden site and would certainly use this firm again.

Pearl Dauncey Asked:

I have this lantern in our garden already and it looks stunning! Which temple dogs work the best, the large or the small pair? I would like to match the colour as much as I can, also the lantern stands at 92cm so l was going to order the large dogs. Also which buddha or Asian princess do you suggest?

We Replied:

Dear Pearl Thank you for your question. The temple dogs are finished in a granite grey rather than a white finish. They look amazing and both sizes complement the lantern. It really depends on how much space you have. The large dogs are fantastic to be honest. I think the sleeping Deity looks nice. We have it in gold at the garden centre, the Bodhisattva is also an impressive tall statue.

Phil Asked:

Can you suggest what I should use to clean the Oriental Lantern?

We Replied:

Dear Phil Thank you for your question. We recommend cleaning as and when required with a sponge and hot soapy water - washing up liquid is fine. For more stubborn marks we use spray with bleach, this does not harm the product and it gets into all the grooves. Leave on for 10-15 minutes and rinse off with plenty of water. Should you wish to contact us further or to place an order, please call us on 0121 355 7701. Thank you for using our online Q&A system. Kind regards Lauren

Chris Clements Asked:

How does the bolt in the base section fix to the upper sections? Are there any instructions for assembly of the lantern?

We Replied:

Dear Chris Thank you for your question. The bolt is used to keep the product safe during transport and can be removed or left in place. I can confirm the item can, however, stand safely without the bolt. Should you wish to contact us further or to place an order, please call us on 0121 355 7701. Thank you for using our online Q&A system. Kind regards Gaby
