Item description - YO01010422 Kotoji Ishidoro, Japanese Stone Lantern - Stone lanterns, Ishidōrō (石灯籠) in Japanese, are without a doubt the most characteristic part of the traditional Japanese garden. The phenomenon originated from China more than a thousand years ago, from there it spread to Korea and eventually was integrated into Japanese culture as well. All Japanese holy sites, such as Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines, use stone lanterns as sacred light sources. During the 16th century, stone lanterns became very popular among Japanese tea masters and they were used to light the path through the tea garden leading towards the tea house. Ever since then, one or multiple stone lanterns are featured in almost every traditional Japanese garden.

A Japanese stone lantern is made up of multiple independent parts that need to be carefully stacked on top of each other to create a perfectly balanced lantern.

The Kotoji Ishidōrō (徽軫石灯籠) is a special variant of the Yukimi snow lantern famous for its two pillars bending towards each other. This lantern is often placed besides water and the most famous piece is located at the Kenroku-en garden in Kanazawa, Ishikawa prefecture. The name of the lantern is based on the fact that the pillars of the lantern resemble the bridge on a Koto, which is a traditional Japanese string instrument.
