Stupa of State Preceptor Jigwang from Beopcheonsa Temple Site, Wonju

Stupa of State Preceptor Jigwang from Beopcheonsa Temple Site, Wonju, National Treasure stone stupa in Wonju, South Korea.

The eight-meter stone stupa features intricate carvings depicting Buddhist symbols and narratives across multiple tiers of its symmetrical structure.

The stupa, constructed during the Goryeo Dynasty, was transported to Osaka in 1912 and sustained damage during the Korean War.
