Japanese pagodas

Japanese pagodas are traditional tiered towers with multiple eaves, often found in Buddhist temples. They symbolize sacred Mount Meru and serve as reliquaries or spiritual markers. Characterized by their elegant, curved rooflines and intricate wooden structures, pagodas reflect a blend of Buddhist symbolism and Japanese architecture. They typically have an odd number of tiers, with the central axis aligning to spiritual principles. Beyond their religious function, pagodas are also admired for their aesthetic beauty and craftsmanship, representing harmony, stability, and the connection between heaven and earth.
