Hayao Miyazaki concept design Nittele clock

On the wall of Nippon Television's head office building in Shiodome, there is the "Hayao Miyazaki concept design Nippon Television Grand Clock" (mechanical clock) designed by Hayao Miyazaki, the master of animation. The whole is covered with hand-beaten copper plates, and its size is about 12m in height and about 18m in width. Japan's largest "karakuri large clock", where 32 devices scattered throughout create a narrative. Starting from a single sketch, it took about four years to complete. In this large clock, a character who controls "sound" and a character who controls "movement" live together, creating a single piece of music with the clock as a whole. The performance time is about 3 minutes several times a day, and the melody played by this large clock resounds in Shiodome.
