Choosing
Carved Granite:
Carved granite lanterns, basins and sculptures are one the most recognized
and visually stimulating element in a japanese garden. Granite is a very
dense, durable and hard natural stone. Items carved from granite will last a
life time and many times passed on for many generations to come, thus when
choosing granite select only high quality granite that is carved with high
quality workmanship.
Choosing A Size:
Choose a size that is appropriate to your garden. Visualize the items size
(both height and width) and the appearance in its intended garden
placement. A small garden with an oversized lantern will feel overbearing
and a large garden with a lantern that is too small will feel
un-proportional. If you are not sure, use objects around the home or
garden as props to get a better feel for the size.

-
How
do I lift the stone lanterns for set-up in my japanese garden?
Most granite lanterns can be lifted with two or more people or placed
on a dolly and moved. Most lanterns are usually made up of 3-6
separate pieces (base, pedestal, shaft, housing support, lamp housing,
roof & cap) so although a lantern may weigh 200 lbs. total, the
individual pieces may only weigh 10-60 lbs. each.
-
Are
your stone granite items hand carved? Yes, all our
granite is hand carved using both hand and modern tools
-
What does
pre-drilled for electrical mean? Granite lanterns that
state they are "pre-drilled with a hole for electrical"
means that the lantern is drilled with a approximately a 3/4"
hole up through the inside of the granite lantern up to the light box.
This is a wonderful feature for it allows you to install low voltage
electrical wiring if you should decide to enlighten in your garden!
Electrical wiring is not included but can be found at all hardware
stores in the outside landscape lighting section.
-
Are your
Yukimi lanterns pre-drilled for electrical for other companies are not
or charge extra? Yes,
we do pre-drill our yukimi lanterns for we feel it is a nice option if

Each lantern or basin is shipped in a wooden crate. Most granite

placed on a dolly and moved. Most lanterns are usually made up of 3-6
separate pieces (base, pedestal, shaft, housing support, lamp housing,
roof & cap) so although a lantern may weigh 200 lbs. total, the
individual pieces of a 200 lb lantern may only weigh 10-80 lbs. each.
