Gorinto (lit. five-tiered stupa) sculpted in one piece from an especially hard sedimentary stone. Late-Muromachi Period ca. 1550. Very minor old loss.Height: 48.2 cm
Width/depth of base: 13.8 cm. The gorinto is a uniquely Japanese style of stupa comprising five geometric forms, which correspond (from bottom) to 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 fine example of type, with good size and pleasing formal balance. Uncommon.
