Did you know? Even in ancient times, these Kanji numerals weren’t used on clocks.

Kanji numerals existed in the past and still exist today. This is a fact based on historical records. However, there is no record of them ever being used on watch.
During the Warring States and Edo periods featuring samurai and ninja that interest you, time was counted using Japan’s twelve zodiac signs. There were no gear-driven watch. It was sundials or temple bells. It was quite rough. For example, what we still call noon (Shogo) today refers to 12 o’clock in the afternoon. This corresponds to the central hour of the Horse sign in the zodiac.
After the Meiji Restoration ended isolation and Western culture arrived, analog clocks became common. Their dials primarily used Roman numerals. As education levels rose and elementary school students learned to tell time using analog clocks in lower grades, the dials gradually switched to Arabic numerals, which they were learning in arithmetic.
The strict punctuality of train arrivals and departures might stem from the experience of learning to read watch down to the minute.
Historically, there was likely no room for Kanji numerals on Japanese watch dials.

A Fun Japan in an Alternate Timeline

This design was created by Aokimono, a Japanese artist, who reimagined a fun version of Japan from a different time period for the modern era.
This watch is made of black printed Japanese paper background with Kanji character written within a double circle. All stains within the inner circle indicate the position of the minute hand. The smaller circle has been slightly shifted downwards on a dare so that the writing can be recognized.
