Himeji Castle Crystal Gifts & Collectibles
Himeji Castle is a Japanese castle located in Himeji, Hyogo Prefecture. It is one of the
oldest surviving structures from medieval Japan, and has been designated a UNESCO
World Heritage Site and a Japanese National Cultural Treasure. Along with Matsumoto
Castle and Kumamoto Castle, it is one of Japan's "Three Famous Castles", and is the
most visited castle in Japan. It is occasionally known as Hakuroj? or Shirasagij? ("White
heron castle. One of Himeji's most important defensive elements, and perhaps its most
famous, is the confusing maze of paths leading to the main keep. The gates, baileys, and
outer walls of the complex are organized so as to force an approaching force to travel in
a spiral pattern around the castle on their way into the keep, facing many dead ends.
This allowed the intruders to be watched and fired upon from the keep during their entire
approach. However, Himeji was never attacked in this manner, and so the system
remains untested. These Himeji Castle wedding and corporate crystal gifts are
approximately 3 x 2.5 x 2 inches. From the Crystal Palace Collection.

Angkor Wat Crystal Gifts & Collectibles
There are two great complexes of ancient temples in Southeast Asia, one at Bagan in
Burma, the other at Angkor in Cambodia. The temples of Angkor, built by the Khmer
civilization between 802 and 1220 AD, represent one of humankind's most astonishing
and enduring architectural achievements. From Angkor the Khmer kings ruled over a vast
domain that reached from Vietnam to China to the Bay of Bengal. The structures one
sees at Angkor today, more than 100 stone temples in all, are the surviving remains of a
grand religious, social and administrative metropolis whose other palaces, public
buildings, and houses were built of wood and are long since decayed and gone. Angkor
Wat, built during the early years of the 12th century by Suryavaram II, honors the Hindu
god Vishnu and is a symbolic representation of Hindu cosmology. Consisting of an
enormous temple symbolizing the mythic Mt. Meru, its five inter-nested rectangular walls
and moats represent chains of mountains and the cosmic ocean. The short dimensions of
the vast compound are precisely aligned along a north-south axis, while the east-west
axis has been deliberately diverted 0.75 degrees south of east and north of west,
seemingly in order to give observers a three day anticipation of the spring equinox.
These Angkor Wat wedding and corporate crystal gifts are approximately 3 x 2.5 x 1.5
inches. From the Crystal Palace Collection.

Grand Palace Miniature Crystal Gifts

Thonburi on the other side of the river. Rama I, immediately on ascending the throne,
