Yuzu Tree Lantern

• Stone Lantern
• Tall Lantern

Created during the Heian period, it is called the Yuzu Tree Lantern because it was historically placed under a yuzu tree near the water pavilion at Kasuga Shrine in Nara. The pole imitates a bamboo tree, giving it a powerful aura, but its relatively slender and long shape imparts a sense of lightness. The lotus petal decorations on the underside of the platform and octagonal descending roof ridges add an elegant touch. The thick base is hexagonal and has a kozama carved into it.
