Hiroshige Weather Art Clock

Utagawa Hiroshige's iconic Japanese landscapes transform on your wall as our contemporary British design animates five stunning Edo-era weather forecasting scenes. Watch the sky shift from serene sunshine and cherry blossom to storm-swept seas, pushed along by our unique air pressure-sensing mechanics.


A celebration of a ukiyo-e print legend, this clock has been created in partnership with the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, utilising high-fidelity imagery of their world-renowned collection of Hiroshige’s woodcut prints from the 1800s.


The very first batch of these inspiring Weather Clocks is being handmade to order at our workshop this November – a sister to the Hokusai Tide Art Clock, also developed with the Ashmolean.


"Hiroshige balanced striking landscape views with detailed, often humorous depictions of travellers and their encounters with local customs and various weather conditions"

The Ashmolean Museum, Oxford

HIGHLIGHTS
  • Ukiyo-e Printwork Meets Barometric Forecasting: Watch Utagawa Hiroshige's famous 19th-Century prints slide in and out of view on your wall to provide a local barometric weather forecast.
  • Japanese Art History in Motion: This very special collaboration with the Ashmolean Museum has five dynamic artwork scenes, expertly pieced together from Hiroshige's collections housed in Oxford. Each change in forecast honours one of the most renowned ukiyo-e artists of all time.
  • Future Family Heirloom: A truly limited and numbered timepiece, ensuring future provenance. Each Hiroshige Weather Art Clock is hand-assembled at our workshop in Hampshire, England to blend this historic art with modern British design.
  • A Good Size: The Weather Art Clock's frame measures 33cm diameter (13 inches) and 12.5cm deep (5 inches) – big enough to work as a single focal point in a room, small enough to sit alongside other wall art and furnishings.
  • Peace of Mind: Reflecting the trust we put in our dedicated workshop team and the quality of our clocks, every one comes with a one-year warranty, easily extendable to two years by registering your purchase.

    All of the Hiroshige Weather Art Clocks are made at our workshop in Hampshire, England. This is a limited and numbered piece.

  • Warrantied & Sustainable Design
    All our clocks come with a full warranty as standard, extendable to two years. We’ve designed the clock for a very long life in your home. And it’s fully serviceable (if it ever needs to be) – with all the parts available with our UK-based workshop.

  • Watch the Transformation
    Want to show off your clock's serene sunshine or storm-swept drama? Don’t wait for the weather to change, just press the demonstration button on the base of the frame to make the scenes whizz into life – then watch the reaction from friends and family.

  • Iconic Edo-Era Art
    The five illustrated scenes are expertly pieced together from Utagawa Hiroshige’s world-renowned ukiyo-e prints, including his iconic Edo collections. The scenes change with the barometric air pressure, offering the five classic forecasts: ‘Very Dry’, ‘Fair’, ‘Change’, ‘Rain’, and ‘Stormy’.

  • Easy to Hang (Indoors!)
    A single screw in the wall can hold the clock and you get a nifty hanging guide in the box. This clock is for indoor use only – just please don't hang it within 50cm (20 inches) of a radiator. The delicate barometric mechanics don’t enjoy direct heat.

  • Ashmolean Collaboration Certificate
    A mark of its unique provenance, your clock will be hand-numbered and certified to confirm its status as a limited edition piece created in partnership with the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford.
