* PolyStone miniature statues are detailed scale copies of original traditional Asian lanterns and pagodas.
* PolyStone miniature statues are made of genuine granite stone powder and resin compound by an injection mold casting process and are non-toxic.
* Sizes are approximate, and some consist of several separately made molded cast parts that are hand assembled together and may not be perfectly symmetrical.
* Statues may have slight imperfections from the mold casting process, hand assembly and/or superficial marks from cleaning and polishing.
* Statues are bubble wrapped and packaged in the original box with illustration and stock#.
* Granite is a very dense, durable and hard natural stone that will last a lifetime ... and many times be passed on ... for many generations to come.

History: The famous Zenibachi stands in the grounds of the Ryōan-ji temple in Kyoto and was donated by the feudal lord Tokugawa Mitsukuni. The Kanji written on the surface of the stone are without significance when read alone. If each is read in combination with 口 (kuchi) - the shape of the central bowl - then the characters become 吾, 唯, 足, 知 which translates literally as "I only know plenty" (吾 = ware = I, 唯 = tada = only, 足 = taru = plenty, 知 = shiru = know). The underlying meaning, variously translated as "what one has is all one needs", or "learn only to be content" reflects the basic anti-materialistic teachings of Buddhism.
