About the Item

Fine Garden Sculpture A spiritual representation of five earthly and celestial elements destined for a fine garden. This Japanese monumental antique stone pagoda tower is about four meters or 128” tall. It is hand carved from solid granite from the mid Showa period circa 1940s. The sculpture spiritually represents our five earthly and celestial elements. And this pagoda is similar to the taller example given by Sapporo, Japan to the Portland, Oregon Japanese garden (See Portland's Japanese Garden Pagoda , Last Photo). Stone Details The monumental carved stone Buddhist sculptural five layered tower fashioned in thirteen parts with a tall incised ringed finial Hoju representative of five elements known as earth, wind, fire, water, and ethereal space; five sets of hexagonal shaped roofs, and a stepped altar platform all mounted on a four legged base and hand-carved of a granite stone with patina from appropriate age. Provenance: Old Japanese garden and private collection. Interested? Call or email us to reserve or make an appointment to see at our Vermont garden gallery, It is one-of-a-kind. Japan’s Pagodas Japan’s stone pagodas were the Japanese Buddhist versions of Chinese pagodas and originally Indian stupas. By the Meiji era, the word came to mean tower and a pagoda's size was measured in ken, where a ken is the interval between two pillars of a traditional-style building. In Japan , long ago Pagoda architecture served as inspiration for stone garden ornaments in Japan. The stone Pagodas, known as Sekitō (石塔) in Japanese, are a perfect addition to your traditional or your very own created Japanese garden because of the symbolism and their its unique presence. A stone Pagoda can add a one-of-a-kind essence to a Japanese garden like no other garden ornament could. This beautifully hand-carved sculpture would make an exceptional visual statement and substantial conversational choice for your special garden location. Only One. Lifetime guarantee of authenticity.
