Stone lanterns


Kasuga Grand Shrine in the city of Nara, in Nara Prefecture, Japan was established in 768 A.D. and rebuilt several times over the centuries, it is the shrine of the Fujiwara family. The interior is famous for its many bronze lanterns but to me the coolest thing is the many stone lanterns that lead up the shrine. It gives the feeling of old Japan and its ancient traditions and the walk is all that you can expect from a Japanese garden forest.
