Asian Outdoor Fountains

There is something about Asian outdoor fountains that is just irresistible. There is something so incredibly “right” about them, that it is nearly impossible to put into words. It is no surprise that water features were used in Asian countries long before the western civilization ever learned to appreciate them. The sound of water is, and always has been a powerful element in meditation, a practice that was appreciated at least 6,000 years ago in places like India and Pakistan. Therefore, it only makes sense that water features offering an Asian theme or feel would become so popular today as the population has learned just how beneficial yoga and meditation are for both your mental and physical health.

The Use of Buddha

You don’t have to practice Buddhism to have a deep respect and appreciation for the enlightenment that Buddha has helped so many find. Here at Water Fountain Pros, we have several water features that incorporate this brilliant being into them. There is nothing more calming than looking at the face of this beautiful soul and listening to water cascade gently to a pool below. Our Buddha Head Outdoor Fountain – Small is a stunning pick in this category, and since it is available in nine warm colors, there is one that will look elegant in any space.

Simplicity

Asian outdoor fountains certainly do not need to be full of detail to make a huge impact. With this theme, sometimes less is more. Simply letting the curves and sound of the cascading water be the main attraction is often more powerful than an intricate design. For example, our Zen Fountain is nothing more than spout made of stainless steel that empties into a basin below, but it makes a huge impact on the space it occupies. This is one that would look equally as amazing in a garden as it will on your deck.

Iconic Shapes

There are certain symbols, shapes and buildings that instantly allow you to make an Asian connection the second you see them. Paper lanterns and Pagoda are two of them. However, one symbol recognized around the world is yin yang. Our Yin-Yang Garden Fountain will quickly become your favorite place to go to meditate or just relax. Its thoughtful use of water and fire elements create a consistent glow of positive energy that any space can benefit from.
