Gorinto
- Good Luck Charm
- Pagoda
Gorinto is a stone tower that originated in India and is a type of traditional tombstone that has been seen in Japanese tombstones since ancient times. The stone, which is made up of five parts, represents the elements that make up the universe, from earth, water, fire, wind, and sky, based on the Indian idea of the five elements. It is also said to represent the five limbs of a human being (feet, chest, face, and head). By interring the ashes in a Gorinto, which represents the five elements of the universe, it is meant that the deceased will go to the Pure Land.
In fact, Gorinto is originally no different from a general Japanese tombstone, and is also popular for personal tombstones. Compared to a general Japanese tombstone, it is expensive because it requires processing technology. At ISHIMO, we create Gorinto at an affordable price while maintaining high quality.
