About the Item

Japan, a handsome and unique old natural organic shaped stone water basin planter -tsukubai- created from a natural granite mountain boulder and sourced from a decades old garden. This is a unique and visually attractive garden planter or water basin fashioned by nature out of a solid gray granite type of stone coming from central Japan. Lovely shape- smooth to the touch. An acent that can go almost anywhere in your garden. One of a kind and coming from a 60 year old Nagoya antique garden ornaments collection. Substantial dimensions: 14 inches tall and 19 inches wide This one-of-a-kind basin of simple form, possesses unique qualities and represents one of the finest old world Japanese garden antiques we have been fortunate to locate in our most recent Japanese acquisitions travels. Appropriate as a delightful flower planter or tea garden “purification” entry area, they also make wonderful contemporary artistic statements as water/floating flower vessels, planters, or as eye appealing, stand alone work of art placed in your favorite space. Beautiful design. Only one. Whether you install flowers, leafy vines, succulents, stones, or floating flowers in glistening water- this rare shaped stone basin will never cease to amaze. History: Water basins Tsukubai are singularly the most popular, frequent and practical garden ornament found in Japanese gardens. They symbolize Buddhist “purification” and are usually strategically placed in gardens or as an indoor entry tokanoma accent to allow visitors opportunity to cleanse hands prior to participating in a tea ceremony event or before honoring a shrine or temple. These kinds welcome visitors to stop and bow in a respectful, humble manner to perform purification of body and soul ritual. Lifetime guarantee of authenticity: All of our Asian works of art come with our Lifetime Authenticity Guarantee.
