In Japan you can see a number of different styles of lanterns, so today I wanted to show you some of the more common ones, especially ones that you’ll see and use in Japanese garden design.
Toro, or lanterns in general, were originally used in Buddhist temples to light the pathways on the temple grounds. However, in the Heian period (794–1185) Shinto shrines and home gardens started to use them so they slowly began to lose their religious affiliation.
There are 5 main types of stone lanterns that you will see in the Japanese garden, but there are actually dozens of sub-categories as well.
