Kifuku
Rivers, oceans, hills, and mountains.
There are many ups and downs in nature.
Some are very small,
and some are overwhelmingly large.
Some are created in an instant and disappear,
while others are formed over an epic period of time.
The ups and downs express the workings of nature,
and indicate the passage of time through their shapes.
Kifuku is a clock that features waves as its motif.
The moment when water ripples in the wind has been cut out and arranged in a circle.
The shadows stretching across the dent from the raised area create a gradation, gently conveying the passage of time.
 
Clouded Moon / Jupiter
Designed by Noriko Hashida, a jury member for the Good Design Awards and Kids Design Awards, Clouded Moon and Jupiter are porcelain clocks inspired by the surface and movement of celestial bodies.
 
Each clock is made from white porcelain with flowing relief lines. The clock face is divided by curved lines, while the outer circumference is divided into 12 equal sections to indicate the hours.
 
Clouded Moon uses broad, curved lines to evoke clouds passing across a full moon, while Jupiter features winding lines that suggest the movement and atmosphere of the gas planet. The fine texture of the porcelain gives each clock a distinctive surface.
