We Export Japanese Stone Garden Artworks Worldwide

Have you ever remembered a moss-covered stone lantern you saw while traveling in Japan?
A Jizo statue quietly standing in the corner of a temple.
A stone monument engraved with Japanese characters, or the tranquil atmosphere of a traditional garden.

Have you ever found that these scenes remain in your memory long after your journey has ended?

ISHIMO is a stone masonry company in Kyoto that has worked with stone since the Edo period.
We offer stone lanterns and Jizo statues not simply as garden ornaments, but as works that embody Japanese garden culture and the craftsmanship of skilled artisans.

If you discover a stone lantern or stone artwork you love during your travels in Japan, we can arrange international shipping.
There is no need to carry heavy stone items home yourself.
We will deliver the scenery and memories you found in Japan directly to your garden.
