Thank you so much for your kindness and consideration. My husband was delighted with the lantern and it has inspired him to start his Japanese garden project. He was particularly impressed with the quality of the Rankei-45 which he described as having real craftsmanship. I am sure that he will be contacting you again with another order. Best Wishes S.C.

"My Kodai Yukimi has been delivered this morning. I would like to thank you for the courtesy and speed of delivery service that you have provided, especially as Christmas is a busy time for deliveries/Couriers. As our garden project nears the end, hopefully around summer 2006, we will require some more items for the finishing touches and will most definitely be looking to purchase from Japanese Garden supplies again". Wishing you a Happy Christmas.
