Drawings of Traditional Japanese Lanterns - Your Guiding Light.

The gentle glow of an old-fashioned lantern can make you feel relaxed. The traditional Japanese stone lanterns found outside or hanging on the walls of temples or shrines are said to guide the souls of the dead, and therefore hold a special significance in Japanese culture. Maybe that's why just looking at the flame freely flickering inside one of these lanterns can make us feel nostalgic.
