Katomado (fire lamp window) is a bell-shaped decorative window that was introduced to Japan from Asia via China along with Zen Buddhism. It can be seen in Ginkakuji Temple, shrines, castles, and more, and its beauty has captivated many people.
It is said that these windows were made so that people could enjoy the moonlight reflected on the white sand of the garden during the night in the days before electric light. The flowers look even more beautiful when viewed through the windows.
