The oldest extant bronze and stone lanterns in Japan can be found in Nara. Stone lanterns have been known in China as early as the Han dynasty (202 BCE–220 CE), and prevailed from the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties all the way up to the Tang Dynasty, when they were introduced to Japan. Their use in Shinto shrines and also private homes started during the Heian period (794–1185). Lit lanterns were then considered an offering to Buddha.
