तोरो

तोरो (灯籠, Toro) जापान में प्रयोग होने वाली एक पारम्परिक लालटेन है जो पत्थर, लकड़ी या धातु की बनी होती है। इसका प्रयोग बौद्ध मंदिरों में हुआ करता था जहाँ इन्हें महात्मा बुद्ध के लिए श्रद्धांजलि मन जाता था। हेइआन काल (७९४-११८५ ईसवी) के बाद इन्हें शिन्तो धर्म के मंदिरों और निजी निवासों में भी लगाया जाने लगा।^[1]
