About Japanese Stone Lantern

The earliest prototype of a stone lantern was a lantern for Chinese Buddhas, which means "vertical light". With the introduction of Buddhism to Japan in the Tang Dynasty, the technology of stone lanterns was also introduced to Japan via  Korea and was widely used in Japan.

In addition to a small number of stone lanterns used in temples and shrines in Japan, most of the stone lanterns are used for courtyard and garden decoration. The placement of stone lanterns in the courtyard must be particular. In the general courtyard, a stone lantern will be placed as the decoration of the courtyard. Different courtyards have different placements. Under normal circumstances, it should not be placed in a conspicuous place, but it will be discovered unconsciously so that there will be wonderful surprises.

In the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, the stone lantern still stands as always, like a housekeeper waiting for his home.
