All Japanese temples and Shinto shrines, use stone lanterns as sacred light sources.

Ever since then, one or multiple stone lanterns are featured in almost every traditional Japanese garden.
The Japanese Kodai Maru Yukimi Nara Japanese Lantern is made up of 5 independent parts that need to be carefully stacked on top of each other to create a perfectly balanced lantern.
The Kodai Maru Yukimi Lantern is the most well known lantern that is relatively close to the ground. Yukimi is Japanese for seeing snow. This name was based on the fact that the Kasa or umbrella of the lantern can be covered with snow during the cold winter days.
The snow on the Yukimi lantern is easier to see compared to other lanterns because of its proximity to the ground. Because of this, Yukimi lanterns are also called snow lanterns in English.
