Pagoda at Ikaruga J — the tenth variation in a pagoda series associated with the village of Ikaruga in Nara Prefecture, home to Horyuji, the world's oldest surviving wooden structure. The five-story pagoda of Horyuji, with its graceful diminishing rooflines and ancient cypress construction, is among the most architecturally sublime structures in Japan. Fujita's abstract treatment of this specific pagoda across multiple variations (reaching at least "J") demonstrates sustained fascination with its geometric elegance and historical resonance.
