Following the theme of Hollywood Regency and chinoiserie, I have to share my latest 'must have'. PAGODAS. These temple icons look as good as a blue and white ginger jars, faux bamboo. They are very regal and quaint. A
pagoda is the general term for a tiered tower with multiple eaves common in China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam and Nepal. Most pagodas were built to have a religious function, most commonly
Buddhist and were often located in or near temples - but they're not temples. Fascinating.
The fact that this style influenced architecture and design from roof shingles through to objet d'art.
