The lantern, or Tōrō (灯籠) in Japanese, is a traditional light fixture made of stone, wood, or metal. Originating from China, it is an important element of Japanese traditional architecture. Initially, Tōrō were used only in Buddhist temples to light paths and were considered as offerings. In its original form, the lantern represents the five elements of Buddhist cosmology. The bottom of the lantern represents chi, or earth, while the next section represents sui, or water. The section encasing the lanterns light or flame represents ka, or fire. The last two sections, topmost and pointing towards the sky, represent fu (air) and ku (void or spirit), expressing the idea that our physical bodies will return to their original elemental form after death. The Yukimi-doro, also known as legged lanterns, have curved legs and a wide umbrella with a finial, as opposed to a post. These lanterns are relatively low and are exclusively used in gardens, typically placed near water. The umbrella of the Yukimi-doro can be round or have three to eight sides, while the fire box is usually hexagonal. The term "Yu" loosely translates to water reflection. Although it was likely developed during the Momoyama period, the oldest known examples of Yukimi-doro are from the early Edo period (17th century) and were discovered at the Katsura Villa in Kyoto.
