For the finest garden- a spiritual representation of five earthly and celestial elements. This particular Pagoda has five tiers, which is known as Gojū Sekitō (五重石塔) in Japanese. These five tiers represent the primary elements of nature: Earth (the lowest tier), Water, Fire, Wind, and Void/Space (The highest tier).

Japan, a monumental antique stone pagoda tower that is nearly three meters , about 100” tall, hand carved from solid granite, Showa period circa 1950s

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 sculpture is fashioned in thirteen original 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 with giboshi rail elements all mounted on a four legged base and hand-carved of a granite stone with 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.

Only one.
