Shihobutsu Kyuju Sekito, Japanese Stone Pagoda
Item description - YO02010017
Shihobutsu Kyuju Sekito, Japanese Stone Pagoda - Pagoda buildings, Tō (塔) in Japanese, originated in ancient India from where the phenomenon spread throughout different parts of Asia. Today the Pagoda is synonymous with traditional Chinese and Japanese architecture. The high Pagodas symbolize the holy mountains of legends and folklore. 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 a perfect addition to the traditional Japanese garden because of the symbolism and their unique presence. A stone Pagoda can add a one-of-a-kind essence to a Japanese garden like no other garden ornament could.
This particular Pagoda has nine tiers, which is known as Kyūjū Sekitō (九重石塔) in Japanese.
The block underneath the tiers of this Pagoda features beautiful carvings of Buddha on all sides, facing all four directions. This style is known as Shihōbutsu (四方仏), and can also been seen on Chōzubachi water basins.
