Todas las subastas / Arte Antiguo / Chôzu’bachi 手水鉢 (water basin) - Granite - Japan - Meiji period (1868-1912)
A great and heavy traditional Japanese chôzu’bachi 手水鉢 (water basin), carved from a single solid block of granite. Of cylindrical form slightly tapering down, the basin’s coarse-textured sides enhance its strong, natural presence. The stone exhibits a charming interplay of black, grey and white tones, creating a mottled effect. Chôzu’bachi, also known as a water reservoir for cleansing, is a traditional feature in Japanese gardens. Beyond its ornamental appeal, it serves a ritual purpose as a vessel for washing hands and rinsing the mouth before entering sacred spaces such as temples, shrines, or tea gardens. When used in such contexts, it is referred to as a tsukubai 蹲. These basins embody the Japanese ideals of purity and mindfulness, symbolising both physical and spiritual preparation. Approximate dimensions: H: 58,8 cm D.: 62,5 cm Dating such stone pieces precisely is difficult, but this example was likely carved during the Meiji period (1868-1912). It has developed a pleasing natural outdoor patina over time and remains in very good original condition. Please refer to the photos for a clear condition reference. For safe transport, it will be carefully packed and shipped on a wooden pallet.
