Rare gem plucked from an old Japanese garden

Japan, a fine and amazing surviving Gorinto or five-tiered Stupa sculpted in one piece in a convenient portable size from a gray-brown igneous stone. This one dates to the 18th century. An architectural gem for display indoors or outdoors in your favorite place.

Portable.

Much original centuries old lichen still clinging to its surface.

Measuring 12″ high and 4″ wide, 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. A very fine example with guaranteed authentic ancient writing. From an old Nagoya garden.
