History of Japanese lanterns:
In Japan a to¯ro¯ (lantern) is a traditional lantern made of stone, wood, or metal. Like many other elements of Japanese traditional architecture, it originated in China. In Japan, toro were originally used only in Buddhist temples, where they lined and illuminated paths and lighted lanterns were then considered an offering. In its complete, original form the lantern represents five elements of Buddhist cosmology: Bottom touching the ground, represents chi, the earth, the next section represents sui, or water, ka or fire, is represented by the section encasing the lantern's light or flame, while fu¯ (air) and ku¯ (void or spirit) are represented by the last two sections, top-most and pointing towards the sky. These last two sections express the idea that after death our physical bodies will go back to their original, elemental form.

Located in Topeka, KS
Fabulous pair of Buddha and stand comprised of hand carved wood. Hand painted red underlay has been gilded. Wonderful vintage condition with age appropriate nicks and chips. Crown on smaller Buddha is broken on the right side and he has a slight crack on his front base, but we think it adds to his character. These are extremely aged and patinaed. All flaws are considered natural patina and part of their beauty. Please see photos. Circa Mid 19th-20th Century but could be olde
