Lava Stone Lanterns
Garden Ponds is excited to announce our new line of hand carved garden lanterns made from lava stone. As beautiful garden accents, they bring peace and serenity to your space. We have many different beautiful designs to choose from in stock, and more that can be custom ordered.
We also carry our traditional granite Japanese lanterns made out of the classic stone. Here in Hawaii the lava lantern has been very popular with our customers and we are able to sell them for an economical price.
In the tradition of Japanese tea gardens, lanterns were used to light up a wash basin near a place to sit and rinse your hands before you start your tea ceremony. The tea ceremony, infused with the spirit of Zen, required a purity of mind and body. To this end, stone basins were later included in tea gardens so that guests could symbolically dip their hands before entering the tea house. If you would like something symbolic of a traditional tea garden, we have all aspects and landscaping material to help you design it. We also carry LED lighting kits to energize your garden lantern.
