Lantern (行灯)

Posted by GJC (Kyoto (京都), Japan) on 17 April 2008 in Abstract & Conceptual.

I've been inspired by a number of blogs that I look at every day, especially those of you (you know who you are) who find such marvelous photos amidst the things directly around you in your everyday life. So, I took this photo of a great treasure of mine: a square lacquer floor lantern. It's neither rare nor old, but I love the light it gives off and the liquid reflection of the lacquer and bamboo handle.
