Stone lanterns were originally introduced into Japan from China over a thousand years ago. The first were made of metal, and were primarily used to light doorways to shrines and temples. They were later made of stone, for use in Japanese gardens; but it wasn't until they were introduced into Japanese tea gardens by Japanese tea-master Sen-no-Rikkyu that they really became a major garden element. Japanese tea ceremonies were often held in the evenings, and light was needed to guide guests to the tea room. Stone lanterns can be classified into four basic categories: tachi-gata (pedestal lanterns), ikekomi-gata (buried lanterns), oki-gata (small, set lanterns) and yukimi-gata (snow-viewing lanterns). Today, stone lanterns are primarily used for garden enhancements and for visual delight. My miniature bonsai garden lanterns are made of Polyresin mixed with genuine granite stone powder.  This provides a more realistic and detailed casting than plastic; however, this also makes the piece more fragile than plastic and subject to imperfections. You may see that this gives the lanterns a certain rough-hewn, rustic appearance.  Some may also tilt a bit; but this can sometimes be accommodated by positioning.  Please understand that these are characteristics of the casting process, and should be expected.
