In this set I present a number of different building facades or details, mainly made out of stone or tiles, but also including wooden elements.

There are a variety of large and small structures in the garden, many with surprising elegant details.

Tiled roofs with a graceful upward slope incorporating designs or often figurines are a typical element of Buddhist temples to help ward off evil spirits
