Image description

Nigatsu-dō (February Hall) Nara Japan, a Buddhist temple. Japanese Stone Lantern. In their original form, stone and bronze lanterns embody the five elements of Buddhist cosmology. The closest piece to the ground represents the earth (chi); the next part on top of it represents water (sui). The portion encasing the lantern's light represents the fire (ka).
