Label TextAlong with Earth, Water, Fire and Void (or Heaven), Wind, according to Japanese Buddhist philosophy, is one of the Five Elements (godai; lit. “Five Great”). It is also symbolic of the fresh, pure breezes of virtue that restore the spirit by sweeping away clouds of delusion.ProvenanceJoanne and Doug Wise, Grantham, NH
