I thought this lantern was interesting. Notice the main part is actually made of wood. Inside that part is where you light a candle. Lucky the lantern is only lit twice a year.

Kasuga Taisha, Nara
Kasuga Taisha is one of Japan's most famous shrines. You can find hundreds, maybe thousands of lanterns within its grounds. They light the lanterns twice a year. I can only image how they do it. This place is very pretty. Lots of red buildings as with most shrines and of course the lanterns. Lovely!
