Gorinto, Japanese Stone Pagoda Statue
Item description - YO07010210
Gorinto, Japanese Stone Pagoda Statue - These authentic Japanese statues are known as Gorintō (五輪塔), which translates to five-ringed Pagoda in English. These statues have their roots in Buddhism, where they serve a memorial function, symbolizing the spiritual connection between the physical and metaphysical worlds.
The structure of the Gorintō consists of five stacked rings or tiers, each representing one of the five elements, a concept that is deeply intertwined with Buddhist philosophy and cosmology. The elements, arranged from top to bottom, are: Space (or void), air, fire, water, and earth. Each element reflects a fundamental aspect of existence, with the topmost space representing the infinite or the void, and the lower elements embodying the material and natural forces that make up the physical world. Through its design, the Gorintō serves as both a spiritual symbol and a reminder of the interconnectedness of all things in the universe.
