Kehai Clock by Koizumi Makoto: White

Through translucent glass the hands and red dot of this clock glide beneath the surface without ticking, allowing the passing of time to appear subtle and more relaxing than on a typical clock face. This unique clock was produced by Lemnos – a Japanese brand which creates wall clocks and timepieces in collaboration with celebrated designers – and Koizumi Makoto, a multidisciplinary artist working with a variety of mediums on projects as small as chopsticks or as large as interior design. This calming clock is named ‘Kehai’, which translates as hint or suggestion, and conveys the purpose of this clock, which is to allow time to be more ambiguous and less defining in our lives.

Chūbu

The central Chūbu region is predominantly mountainous, home to the rugged Japan Alps with coasts on both the Sea of Japan and the Pacific Ocean. The region's history has been shaped by its strategic position between the great cities of Kyoto and Tokyo with Nagoya at its heart. Niigata lies to the north while Mt Fuji can be found in the south in Shizuoka Prefecture.
