Japan, the land of the rising sun. This Toro lantern set includes 12 different Japanese stone lanterns. Toro (灯籠, 灯篭, 灯楼) are traditional Japanese lanterns made of metal, stone or wood. Their ancestors originated in China, where lanterns can still be admired today in Chinese gardens and Buddhist temples. They are also found in Korea and Vietnam, although less frequently.
In Japan, toros were originally placed in Buddhist temples, where they framed and illuminated paths and were considered an offering to Buddha. From the Heian period (794-1185), they were also used in Shinto shrines and around Japanese homes. Toro lanterns are still widely used today and can be found in temples, parks and gardens across Japan.
Japanese stone lanterns (toro) bring atmospheric light to every garden. Enjoy relaxing evenings in the pleasant glow of a traditional Japanese garden lantern made of high quality granite.
