Garden Pagodas


Stone pagodas or towers, derived from Indian studas, were used to add a spiritual atmosphere in early days. Today they are a purely decorative element in Japanese gardens. Placed near tsukubai (water basin), bridges, ponds or streams, a pagoda draws attention, creates space, provides artful contrast to the variety of elements, and adds perspective to the landscape. Taller pagodas are often seen atop artificial miniature hills. The light chambers represent earth, waters, sky and so on. They sits on four lion legs representing strength. On the top, the nine rings are symbols of nine heavens in the buddhist pantheon. The lotus on the very top is a representation of the buddha. The 13-storied pagodas are of more contemporary design. Pagodas put reflecting properties of water to good use. They offer spiritual advice, guard the entrance, and guide footsteps.
