説明：
Lanterns are of central importance in Japanese garden design. Sheltered by two maple trees with autumn foliage, the tall stone lantern ("ishi-doro") in this print is paired with a tall cut-stone style “reservoir basin” ("chozubachi") used by guests or visitors to wash their hands and rinse their mouths. In the background is a "yukimi-doro" (“snow-viewing lantern”), a type of lantern with a wide flattish roof that is often placed near water in a garden. Its wide brim serves to cast the light from its fire box onto the water surface and thereby mark the landing site for boats. The location of this scene has not been identified, but the tall lantern and the double-span stone-bridge resemble a lantern and the nearby Senshu-kyo bridge found at Ginkaku-ji.
