@ | ||||||
Also *kaitomoshi ~. A lantern hung from the corner of the eaves of a building. They are usually small, 4-or 6-sided, and made from metal, copper or wood. The lantern is designed to fit under the overhanging eaves of the roof; the shape is often curved, with the portion under the flame holder being wider and the area above narrower. The lanterns have a long history dating back to ancient China. They were introduced to Japan in the Nara period for use in imperial palaces; later these hanging lanterns were called *tourouβΔ ; they were also termed akashi and miakashi δ. Hanging lanterns exist today in the Seiryouden ΄Αa and Higyousha ςΙ of Kyoto Gosho sδ. | ||||||
