Title
Stone Lanterns at Toyoda Hiyoshi Shrine
Areas
South Area 32

A pair of stone lanterns sits in front of Toyoda Hiyoshi Shrine. Letters inscribed on the lanterns show that they were donated by a samurai of the Kaga Domain in 1695. The names of nine other people were also inscribed on the lanterns, which mean that the lanterns were built for a memorial service for them. These are the second oldest stone lanterns in Ishikawa Prefecture with inscriptions of the year of production.
