Just discovered from an old Kyoto area garden and now in our Kyoto warehouse. Call or message us for details or to reserve.

For the finest garden- an exceptional and spiritual representation of the Buddha expressed in this unique and substantial 10 feet five roof pagoda with four buddha images carved on base.

Japan, a monumental antique stone pagoda tower that is hand carved from solid granite, Edo period circa 1800, and a spiritual representation of five earthly and celestial elements.

The monumental carved stone Buddhist sculptural five layered tower fashioned in ten parts with a tall incised nine ringed finial Hoju representative of nine (9) stages of consciousness development plus five sets of shaped roofs, and four (4) buddhas carved in the square rectangular shaped base. All are hand-carved of granite stone with considerable patina from appropriate age.

Provenance: Old Japanese private Kyoto area garden

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.

Good original wear, patina and lichen from great age.

Call or message us to reserve as it is one of a kind.
