Japanese Tall Antique Five Elements Stone Pagoda 180 Inches- best in class
About the Item
Just discovered from an old Kyoto garden.
Call us For Details...
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 , Last Photo).
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 hand-carved sculpture would make an exceptional visual statement and substantial conversational choice for your special garden location.
All hand-carved with fine original patina from good age.
Only one.
