Japanese Stone Lanterns Stock Photography

Japanese stone lantern, an ancient ornamental object commonly found in traditional classical gardens and parks in Japan. Quaint and rustic in appearance, these oriental ornaments add an antique and zen feel to the landscaping. Carved out of stone into shapes of a small pagoda or house, they complement the architectural style of stone bridges and pavilions, etc found in a japanese garden. Many are pure ornamental but some can be lit within. Taken here among lush foliage of orange lily flowers. Location is Japanese Gardens, Singapore.
