Item description - YO01010389 Omokage Gata 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 Omokage Gata Ishidōrō (面影型石灯籠) is a special variation on the Yukimi lantern that is very recognizable due to the characteristic round shape of the lower part. The purpose of this circle is to make one think of their earlier life as it is a representation of the faces and figures of ones past. That is why the lantern is named Omokage (面影), which can be translated to abstract image, face, and reminder.
