About the Item

A beautifully weathered hand-cut granite ‘toro’ Japanese lantern dating to circa 1900. Also known as ‘Dai-doro’, pedestal-mounted lanterns like this one are synonymous with temples, gardens and parks throughout Japan. Originally situated in Buddhist temples, toro were used to illuminate pathways and symbolised offerings to the Buddha. It wasn’t until the Heian period – Japan’s “golden age” of art and architecture – that these lanterns appeared in sacred Shinto shrines and private Japanese homes. Toro come in a variety of forms including large platform lanterns made of bronze or stone as well as smaller hanging lanterns. With its traditional domed top and scalloped pedestal base, this early 20th century Japanese lantern will make a beautiful focal point of any garden, particularly an oriental style water garden or tranquil corner beside a calming water fountain among bonsai trees.
