Day 168 — Tōrō

In Japan a tōrō is a traditional lantern made of stone, wood, or metal. Like many other elements of Japanese traditional architecture, it originated in China; where they can still be found in Buddhist temples and Chinese gardens. 

In Japan, tōrō were originally used only in Buddhist temples, where they lined and illuminated paths. Lit lanterns were considered an offering to Buddha. 

During the Heian period (794–1185), however, they started being used also in Shinto shrines and private homes.

I came from a different land named Agartha. There was something I wanted to see, and someone I had to meet. Asuna... I'll give you a blessing.
