Herb, nice job.
I agree that it looks more contemporary, in which case it should be named Meiji - Taisho rather then Edo.
However I found an old example where it comes close to.
Have a look at: [url]https://www.karesansui.nl/html/page_obj_ornaments.htm#LANTERNSXMP[/url] and see the number ten photo of a lantern in Genko-an (established 134) Kyoto.
Not sure from when the lantern dates though.
Piet,

The lantern in that image is an Oribe-gata, isn't it Piet? The pedestal buries right into the ground in that style. Herb, were you asking after style, or "gata"? I have pored through my books (Conder and Newsom, among others) and I find nothing like that style; it seems a hybrid of a oki-gata and a yukimi-gata; can't call it the former as it has legs and can't call it the latter as it only has two legs... I think contemporary style describes it well enough...

True, with the similarity I very much referred to the upper parts (not even the spherical top jewel), as Herb's lantern has a solid base and the Genko-an example is of the type that is baseless and inserted directly into the earth.
Yes it is an Oribe-doro (gata).
Oribe doro from the Edo period can also be found. These are also called kirishitan dourou (the stem is four sided with Christain symbolism), after Francis Xavier. This is still not like Herb's square model.
.....contemporary style sounds most fitting.....

doro or toro= lantern
gata=style
The Oribe/Christian angle is tenuous and I've seen it debated elsewhere; the figure on the front of the lantern in the Oribe-gata is a representation of Jizo-bohsattsu; I have often thought the similiarity in names of Jizo and Jesus might have had something to do with it; perhaps a cultivated misunderstanding? (Not the first time the church coopted local deities; I think of santaria, among the other South American examples). But a little heavy for discussion here...
Nice lantern, Herb...

Hi Herb
Ever since Edzard asked me kozama which I couldn't answer 7years ago, I have been studing about stone lantern.
Like many of internet infomation , many infomation so badly wrong.
Now I am studying korean stone lantern as well
Make it short, I can't find any called Edo style in My Japanese stone lanten book, as well as landscape text book.
Some one created new name.
