Lonely Planet review for Peace Pagoda

When San Francisco’s sister city of Osaka, Japan, made a gift of Yoshiro Taniguchi’s five-tiered concrete stupa to the people of San Francisco in 1968, the city seemed stupa-fied what to do with the minimalist monument, and kept clustering boxed shrubs around its stark nakedness. But with some well-placed cherry trees and low, hewn-rock benches in the plaza, the pagoda is finally in its element au naturel.
