Wakeikoku - Japanese Scenery

1.2.0 update: an Edo-era wadokei digital clock joins the Seijaku scene, with a clockless zen mode and a year-round gold-leaf flourish.

Wakeikoku is an ambient Japanese scenery app — designed to sit on your desk in landscape and let you watch time move through a calm ink-painted world.

Morning mist, afternoon light, sunset glow, a sky full of stars. The scenery shifts gently with the hour, season, and weather. Less of a clock, more of a small Japanese landscape you keep on display.

In 1.2.0, the Seijaku scene gains a wadokei digital clock that reuses the Edo-era "koku / sun / bun" vocabulary in a modernized form — for example, "Uma no kokuhan, 5 sun, 6 bun" reads as 12:33. A clockless zen mode lets you tap the washi surface and watch ripples spread like water. The hourly gold-leaf flourish has also been refined so you can enjoy it year-round.

This app is for people who want a quiet aesthetic on a desk, bedside, or kitchen counter — washi texture, seasonal atmosphere, ambient Japanese visuals, and a sense of time you can feel rather than read.
