Japanese-Style Stone Garden Lantern, Luzon, Philippines, WWII Era
A traditional Japanese-style stone garden lantern stands amid a landscaped garden in Luzon, Philippines, photographed during the World War II era. Such ornamental features, remnants of Japanese cultural influence or occupation-era landscaping, were documented by American servicemen as they moved through the Philippine countryside during the 1944-45 campaign to liberate the islands.
