Daimyo Clock Museum

The Daimyo Timepiece Museum is located in the residential area of Yanaka, Tokyo. It is a professional museum displaying Edo period Daimyo watches. It was built in April 1974. The museum is not large and relatively small. Although there are indicators at the entrance of the alley, you will miss it if you are not careful. Famous timepieces, also known as Japanese timepieces, refer to the timepieces that Japan absorbed Western watchmaking technology in the Edo period, changed the timeless method that was common in Japan at that time, and produced watches and clocks according to Japan's inherent culture and aesthetics. The museum exhibits some private collections, including wall clocks, tower clocks, table clocks, scale clocks, pillow watches, INRO watches, incense board clocks, etc., which were all handmade at that time and are unparalleled arts and crafts in Japan. .
