Toki: Japanese Table Clock

Toki: A Japanese Table Clock for Enjoying a Zen & Traditional Atmosphere

"Toki" is a unique digital desk clock app that recreates "Futeijiho" (the seasonal time system) of the Edo period (the Samurai era, c. 1600-1873).

Based on the natural cycle of sunrise and sunset, this app lets you experience a historical sense of time where the length of an hour changes with the seasons. Turn your smartphone or spare device into an elegant, minimalist Japanese interior piece.
