The Oki-doro, small or set type
movable lantern, are based on the design of bronze temple lanterns from the
Asuka Period.
Due to rising land prices, small lanterns came into favor as it became too
expensive to build large garden spaces.
In a compact, intimate garden an Oki-gata lantern may be used to create a
point of interest. These are lanterns small enough to be placed on top of a
stone and often used to illuminate the
edge of a pond, paths or in smaller gardens.
Inside the home, these unobtrusive lanterns look beautiful close to tropical
plants in a sunroom.
They usually don't have a shaft or legs and are appropriate for a small
space.
