A Japanese house clock is a mechanical clock made to tell traditional Japanese time.

[edit] How it works

The timekeeping of this clock is controlled by a foliot balance, and the movement is of iron. As in other pillar clocks, the time is shown by means of a pointer attached to the driving weight which moves past a vertical scale of hours. The hour-marks are individually adjustable.
