The ″Yukyu clock made with Kyo Karakami paper″ is a timepiece offered by Yamazaki Shoten Co., Ltd., combining tradition and innovation. Established in 1976, Yamazaki Shoten, which has been engaged in the wholesale distribution of Japanese paper for many years, breathed new life into traditional Karakami paper. This clock is created based on the themes of ″Jukashita Animal Patterns″ and ″Karakami Patterns″ inherited through the Silk Road and the Shosoin Repository, embodying the wish for a world where nature and humans coexist, featuring motifs such as the Tree of Life and the Twelve Zodiac Signs. In the production of the Yukyu clock, techniques learned under Karakami master Mr. Honjo are utilized, proposing traditional and new techniques, patterns, and applications. Particularly, the Kyo Karakami paper used in this clock is characterized by its intricate craftsmanship through many processes, expressing the dignity and sanctity of the Shosoin treasures. With over seven embossing processes on the surface and the use of Karakami on the back, the clock becomes a unique piece with no identical ones. The clock mechanism adopts a sweep-type second hand to minimize ticking noise, and it comes with fixtures for wall mounting. Thus, the Yukyu clock made with Kyo Karakami paper is a product that incorporates traditional craftsmanship while blending into modern life with its design and functionality. In order to convey the beauty of Japanese tradition and craftsmanship to the world, Yamazaki Shoten Co., Ltd. considers proposals from different industries and overseas expansion, exploring new possibilities for traditional crafts. This clock, perfect as a gift, pays attention even to its packaging, making it a thoughtful item for the recipient.
