This is a great article, but there are some mistakes. The term that is described in this article is actually "塔刹"(Tasha), which is a common structure on top of pagodas in East Asian countries. The title "Sorin"(相轮 or 相輪, pronounced "Xianglun" in Chinese)is just the middle part of Tasha made up of rings.--Danielinblue (talk) 05:34, 17 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
@Danielinblue: there is no common usage for in Japanese for「塔刹」which would transliterate to Tōsetsu. Sōrin is the common usage for this type of finial. The usage of Sōrin to describe the whole finial most likely arose from the rings (Rin) being an easily identifiable component of a whole. There is a usage for a word 塔刹 in old Japanese 漢文, but that never came to be part of the standard lexicon. Dr.khatmando (talk) 05:49, 6 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
