The Stone Lantern
Stone lantern in a traditional East Asian garden
About this puzzle
Traditional East Asian lanterns crafted from stone, wood, or metal have embarked on a remarkable historical journey. Originating in China, these lanterns made their way to Japan, where they are commonly found in gardens and at temples, illuminating paths and adding a touch of history to the surroundings. In Chinese, they are called Denglong; in Japanese, they are called toro, which means light basket or light tower; and ishi-doro, which means stone lantern. The earliest report of their use comes from the Han Dynasty in 202 BCE.
