About the Item
Unique Pair (2) Tall Large Round Stone Bowls Planters On Stone Pedestals
From our recent Japanese Acquisition Travels- comes this unusual pair of tall large round garden stone vessels on pedestals with inset carved handles - perfect as elegant water basins or unique and handsome planters.
These handsome antique mochi basins were carved from a heavy dense gray stone and were discovered in a decades old Saga antique garden ornaments collection. We've mated them with antique Meiji period round pole style pedestals to form a lovely display - one pedestal is clearly inscribed with a 19th century inscription (see photo).
Dimensions: each approximately 44 inches tall and 20 inches diameter at top; pedestals only measure 32 inches tall.
This round basins of simple form, possesses unique qualities and represents one of the finer old world Japanese garden antiques we have been fortunate to locate in our most recent Japanese acquisitions travels.
Appropriate for your favorite space including tea gardens and would make a wonderful contemporary artistic statement as flower planters/water vessels, or as an eye appealing pair of stand alone works of art.
About Mochi
Mochi (もち, 餅), [motɕi] ⓘ is a Japanese rice cake made of mochigome (もち米), a short-grain japonica glutinous rice, and sometimes other ingredients such as water, sugar, and cornstarch. The steamed rice is pounded into paste , most often in a large round wooden vessel and molded into the desired shape. In Japan, it is traditionally made in a ceremony called mochitsuki (餅搗き).[1] While eaten year-round, mochi is a traditional food for the Japanese New Year, and is commonly sold and eaten during that time.
Whether you install flowers, leafy vines, succulents, stones or floating flowers in glistening water- this rare round shaped stone basin serves your multiple needs.
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.
