About the Item

Historically important Ancient Work of Art. 300 Years Old. Massive example. Japan, a fine and massive surviving Gorinto or five-tiered Stupa sculpted in one piece from a gray stone. It dates to the 18th century or before, early to mid Edo period. It is an architectural gem for display in your finest garden place. Dimensions: Measuring a substantial 26 inches high and 9 inches wide and 9 inches deep. Provenance: just acquired from an old Kyoto area garden This Gorinto Stupa is a uniquely Japanese invention depicting five geometric forms, which correspond (from bottom) to top: earth, water, fire, wind, and ethereal space. The Japanese Shingon sect of esoteric Buddhism views the Gorinto as a symbol of Dai-Nichi Buddha, who, underlying all things, manifests himself in the five elements making up the physical world. Lifetime Guarantee of Authenticity: All of our Asian works of art come with our Lifetime Authenticity Guarantee. We are members of the North American Japanese Garden Association (NAJGA) specializing for ten years now in old and authentic Japanese stone garden ornaments.
