A tanuki seated among tall grass with traditional Japanese script referencing Shojo-ji Temple — based on the official manhole cover of Kisarazu City, Chiba Prefecture, transformed into a wall clock.
Japan's manhole covers are some of the most detailed public art in the world. Each one is unique to its city or region — commissioned designs featuring local landmarks and natural symbols rendered in intricate relief. This clock brings that civic art off the street and onto your wall.
The tanuki is one of Japan's most beloved folkloric figures — a mischievous raccoon dog associated with good fortune, transformation, and playful spirit. The Kisarazu design roots this mythical creature in local temple heritage, merging folklore with place in a single high-contrast black and white composition. Silent quartz movement means no ticking.
