An unusual type of lantern. Like the *oribe dōrō 織部灯籠, its form is outstanding, and it remains popular today. After the Edo period, it became popular to place this type of lantern near water. This sets it off to its best advantage, although the proper placement is difficult; if it is set too high or too low, it will not be seen at its best. Most yukimi dōrō are six-sided above the middle base *chūdai 中台, but eight-sided and rounded lanterns are also popular. The umbrella/canopy kasa 笠 is very broad and the jewel *hōju 宝珠 is gently sloped. The lantern is supported by 3, 4, and 6 legs, with the 4-legged type being the most prevalent. It is sometimes placed on a flat rock, but there is no base. This type of lantern was used primarily for residential gardens and tea gardens. Famous examples of this style of lantern can be seen in Kyoto at Sennyūji 泉涌寺, Katsura Rikyū 桂離宮, Sentō Gosho 仙洞御所, and the garden at Daigoji Sanbōin 醍醐寺三宝院.
