- An analog clock that helps you manage your time with its colorful design -
The origin of the clock’s slightly humorous name is the Japanese pronunciation when reading the minutes in the base 60 numeral system. In Japanese, you read 5 minutes as “go(five)-fun,” 10 minutes as “ju(ten)-pun,” 15 minutes as “jugo(fifteen)-fun,” and 20 minutes as “niju(twenty)-pun.” This clock is easy to explain to children, simple, made of beautiful materials, and it matches any interior design.
Based on the concept of “An analog clock that helps you manage your time by its colorful design”, the clock leads children to manage their own schedule while optimizing the analog clock to resemble pie chart, using colors effectively and dividing an hour into four quarters.

Based on the concept of “An analog clock that helps you manage your time by its colorful design”, the clock leads children to manage their own schedule while optimizing the analog clock to resemble pie chart, using colors effectively and dividing an hour into four quarters. One quarter = 15 minutes is a section of time, so the end of each segment (“0” “15” “30” “45”) has thick white lines. It symbolizes the beginning, like a white canvas to start over again. The combinations of colors were carefully chosen from thousands of color samples by mixing 12 kinds of pigment with the help of an interior paint maker from COLOR WORKS Inc. The design of the clock goes well with chic as well as casual & playful interiors.

[ Favorite Color Effects ]
The clocks feature beautiful subdued colors, making them a perfect fit for both children’s rooms and their own spaces. Each color has been given a unique name, making it easy to discover your personal favorites. A clock with a plywood frame made of more eco-friendly natural materials will guide the direction of your interior design as a “functional graphic.”
[ We aim to understand parents’ child-rearing concerns that change with the times ]
For the color selection, we created a prototype in cooperation with Colorworks, an interior paint company, and used the questionnaire function on social networking sites to consider everyone’s opinions. The choice of lilac in addition to the neutral colors also emerged from these interactions. When we created the prototype in response to long-standing requests for lavender, we embraced an inclusive perspective, “We want the color to have a bluish tint that can be chosen regardless of gender.”

An hour can be divided into 4 quarters. The “fun pun clock with color! for table” helps us make a schedule by recognizing “15 minutes” as one scene. Its good size and weight means you can check the time in your hands. The clock can be placed on a child’s desk to allow them to see the features and be able to work while being conscious of “How long until it’s time for …?”
Moreover, the clock responds to requests from elderly people to be able to put it within reach while they are seated in their usual place, such as at a dining table. It’s recommendable for a blissful moment with your grandchildren.
The clock can be hung on a wall if you remove the accessory parts from the bottom. Its rich depth can also become a little accent in a room.
