【Product details】

This exquisite Showa period piece is a scaled iron replica of the iconic Five-Storied Pagoda of Horyuji Temple. Renowned as the oldest surviving wooden pagoda in the world, the Horyuji Five-Storied Pagoda is a testament to architectural brilliance, featuring an ingenious design that incorporates earthquake-resistant features, allowing it to withstand over 1300 years of seismic activity. This pagoda is not only a symbol of the advanced wooden architecture techniques of ancient Japan but also a UNESCO World Heritage site, embodying significant cultural and historical value.

This ornamental object is finished in a rich, dark green, mirroring the pagoda's harmonious presence amidst the lush surroundings of the Horyuji temple complex in Nara, a site which also stands as a valuable repository of Japan's Buddhist art.

The replica, while capturing the essence of this architectural marvel, shows signs of aging with some wear and scratches, which are consistent with its vintage status. This statuette invites not only an aesthetic appreciation but also a connection to the rich tapestry of Japan's history and cultural heritage.

The piece's significant dimensions and weight reflect its substantial representation, perfect for collectors and enthusiasts of Japanese history and craftsmanship.
