The stone water basin, or bamboo fountain,has had a time honored place in Japanese gardens for centuries. Stone water basins or "chozubachi" originated in ancient shrines and temples for worshipers to wash their hands and rinse their mouths before entering the shrine as an act of purifying the mind and body.
Tea-masters later redesigned the bowls for Japanese tea gardens to create the "tsukubai". The tsukubai or crouching bowl was designed to humble guest and create the right state of mind before guests joined the tea ceremony. Many Japanese gardens today have both the chozubachi and tsukubai and are often fed with water from a bamboo spout called "kakei".
This is a traditional bamboo fountain with a greener shade, and animated running water, to add to your garden. Beautiful, relaxing piece to complete that Asian setting.
