    * 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.
