About the Item

Just discovered from an old Kyoto garden- impressive garden Sculpture, 15 Feet Tall Message or Call us for details or to reserve... For the finest garden- a spiritual representation of five earthly and celestial elements. Japan, a monumental antique stone pagoda tower that is nearly five meters , about 180” tall, hand carved from solid granite, Taisho period circa 1920s, and a spiritual representation of five earthly and celestial elements. This pagoda rivals a similar example given by Sapporo, Japan to the Portland, Oregon Japanese garden (See Portland's Japanese Garden Pagoda , ( see photo). The tall Pagodas symbolize sacred mountains of legends. The top floor of a Pagoda was usually the place where valuable treasures, jewels and artifacts were safely stored. Centuries ago the Pagodas architecture served as inspiration for stone garden ornaments in Japan. The stone Pagodas, known as Sekitō (石塔) in Japanese, are an excellent addition to traditional Japanese gardens because of their ancient symbols and their unique presence. The monumental carved stone Buddhist sculptural five layered tower Goju-no-to 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 good patina from appropriate age. Provenance: Old Japanese garden and private collection Japan’s stone pagodas were the Japanese Buddhist versions of Chinese pagodas and originally Indian stupas. By the Meiji era, the word to 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. This beautifully sculpture would make an exceptional visual statement and substantial conversational choice for your special garden location. Original patina from good age. Only one.
