Hand-carved stone garden ornament evoking a thatched minka roof
This vintage Japanese stone ornament is carved in the form of a traditional minka farmhouse roof, complete with layered thatch texture and a raised ridge line. The sculptor has contrasted a roughly hewn base stone with a crisply faceted upper section, creating a powerful, architectural presence ideal for a Japanese garden or wabi-sabi inspired landscape.
Chisel marks are intentionally left visible across the sloping sides, catching light and shadow much like weathered thatch. The compact, weighty form makes this piece suitable as a focal stone beside a path, near a water feature, or as a meditative accent in a courtyard, echoing the quiet simplicity of Showa-era gardens.
A characterful Showa-era stone accent that brings the quiet charm of rural Japan to any garden setting.
We use professional studio lighting to highlight the natural character of the wood. As a result, the tone may appear slightly warmer than under natural daylight.
All vintage and antique items are sold as-is. Each piece may exhibit signs of age, including scratches, wear, or minor imperfections. These are not considered defects but natural evidence of the item’s authenticity and age.
