Japan’s Pagodas Japan’s stone pagodas were the Japanese Buddhist versions of Chinese pagodas and originally Indian stupas. By the Meiji era, the word came to mean tower and a pagoda's size was measured in ken, where a ken is the interval between two pillars of a traditional-style building. In Japan , long ago Pagoda architecture served as inspiration for stone garden ornaments in Japan. The stone Pagodas, known as Sekitō (石塔) in Japanese, are a perfect addition to your traditional or your very own created Japanese garden because of the symbolism and their its unique presence. A stone Pagoda can add a one-of-a-kind essence to a Japanese garden like no other garden ornament could. This beautifully hand-carved sculpture would make an exceptional visual statement and substantial conversational choice for your special garden location. Only One. Lifetime guarantee of authenticity.
