Name: "Evening Lights Reflect Shadows"
Source: Tang Dynasty. Han Wei, "Night Mooring at Xijiang River"
Original sentence: "The lamp illuminates the lonely boat at night, and the stars hang over the valleys in autumn."
Profile of the poet: Han Wei, a poet of the late Tang Dynasty, is good at describing subtle emotions and details of scenery. His poetry style is exquisite and graceful, often integrating sentimentality and tranquility. "Night Mooring at Xijiang River" depicts the night scene of a boat moored by the river, lighting a solitary lamp and echoing the autumn stars in the valleys, implying a glimmer of comfort in loneliness.
Colloquial interpretation: At night, a lone boat on the river still has its lights on, as if waiting for travelers. The high and distant stars quietly overlook the valleys of the mountains. All things are silent, with only the light of lights and stars interweaving between heaven and earth.
Design interpretation:
This miniature landscape, “Evening Lights Shining on the Boat”, takes a Stone lantern hidden deep in the green moss as its visual center, recreating the tranquil mood of “night lights shining on the boat” in the ancient poem. Although the lantern is dim, it appears particularly stable because of the reflection of the lush leaves and moss around it. It symbolizes that even if you are in a dark place, there is still an inner light to illuminate yourself and protect the soul's path. Whether placed in a corner of the desk or the bedside, it can add a sense of tranquility and poetry to the home, like a lamp illuminating a night boat, reflecting the heart and the shadow.

Design Focus/Cultural Role of Stone Lanterns
Stone lanterns (tōrō) first originated in Buddhist architecture during the Northern and Southern Dynasties in China, and were used to illuminate temple passages. They were later developed into a common object in garden imagery in Japan, symbolizing "bringing light into the secluded area" and also implying "quietly illuminating the inner heart." In garden design, Stone lanterns are often placed near flowing water, beside bridges or in the shade of trees. Their ancient shapes and location arrangements awaken the viewer's perception of time, space and state of mind.
