Tick the time
It seems that June 10 was the first day in Japan to use a watch device. In 671 AD, it is noted in the Chronicles of Japan that Emperor Tenji built a short time (water clock) transmitted from the Tang and performed a "play of time" (playing a drum or bell to inform the time).
It has been just 100 years since the Life Improvement Alliance proposed that daily life be rationalized in 1920 (Daisho 9) and the anniversary of the time was enacted.
This is the Wako clock tower that had stopped for two days on June 9 and 10, 2018. For more than half a century since "Time Anniversary" on June 10, 1954, it was informing people passing at intersections in Westminster Chimes. Even now, it's timeless.
Strangely, this year's busy daily life stopped, people stopped coming and going, and there was a chance to reconsider the time, such as a thank-you bell at 7:00 pm. I hope you will have more time in the future, as it makes sense to share the same time with people all over the world.
