Stone Toro : 04

Published:

Description

One of the tōrō 「灯籠」 - stone lanterns - at this temple. I love taking pictures of them, because each one seems to be very different from each other.

These toro interested me quite a bit - they seem to be on a pyramid mount, and tower above you in a looming sort of way, with the top piece seeming to be of rough chiseled slate. There is something imposing about them, like they are reminding you that this is a holy site, best be on your good behavior!
