Traditional Asian lanterns and pagodas are essential to give authenticity to a Eastern themed garden with its simplicity and harmony. Lanterns and pagodas come in many different styles, sizes and shapes, but common to them all is a hollowed light chamber (hibukuro) made to hold any kind of light source such as electric or solar lights, candles or oil lamps.
Originally, garden lanterns (ishi-doro) and pagodas were introduced into Japan from China in the 6th century (Asuka period) at the same time as Buddhism, primarily used to light the front of Buddhist temples. Mainly used to light doorways to shrines and temples, they converted under the influence by Japanese tea-master Sen-no-Rikkyu in the late 1500s to really become a major garden element. Japanese tea ceremonies were often held in the evenings and light was needed to guide guests to the tea room.
Today, lanterns and pagodas are primarily used for traditional Japanese garden enhancements, and for visual delight. The enchanting range of garden lanterns, pagodas and sculptures add simplicity and balance to the garden landscape. These beautiful miniature structures can be used to add depth to your Asian garden, aquariums, Bonsai arrangements, or simply use them as an accent within the greenery--a beautiful addition to any fine garden landscape setting.
