This desk clock from BEAMS Japan reimagines Japanese masterpieces from a premium perspective. The design is inspired by "Hige Moji" (beard-like lettering), a style symbolizing Edo-period sign culture, and was specially commissioned from leading lettering expert Kohei Kamiboriuchi. This unique typeface, with its whisker-like strokes at the ends of the characters, is considered extremely auspicious, symbolizing wishes for business prosperity and a constant influx of customers.
The deep, rich "sumikuro" (ink black) body exudes presence, and the minimalist form, created by cutting an aluminum cylinder, is truly remarkable. Its dignified presence brings a sense of calm and sophistication to any interior, while the tasteful calligraphy evokes a sense of Japanese aesthetics. This is a masterpiece that beautifully fuses traditional auspicious characters with modern, edgy product design.

■About Hige-moji
Hige moji is a uniquely Japanese character culture that expresses wishes such as "prosperity in business," "good health," and "prayer for attracting customers." By making the "hige" at the end of the line an odd or prime number, it is believed to bring good luck, such as "continuity" and "unbreakable," and its traditional decorativeness is appealing, visualizing the power behind the words.
