14: Rankei Lantern

Under the zig-zag bridge, a waterfalls flow. To the right of the waterfall, a unique rankei lantern, which is also called spring lantern of the 19th century stands at the water's edge. Beyond the bridge stands a stupa of five-tiered pagoda. As you count the tiers, you might reflect on the five cardinal virtues of Zen - humanity, justice, politeness, wisdom, and fidelity.
