In Tune with Time - Watchmaker Masahiro Kikuno
Wadokei Revision: "The first Western mechanical clock/watch was brought into Japan by a missionary in 1551. But the concept of the 'time' in Japan was different from the western one, so it was never used as a time-measurement device."
What is "Japan's traditional way of time-measurement"? - divide a day by day-time and night-time, and then divide further each by six (6), and each one was called "one (Japanese) hour". It shows Japanese way of life which is very close to the nature and called "temporal hour". As you can guess, the length of an "hour" changes everyday in today's concept of the time.
