With a Makassar wooden case. The wooden dial - the pillar - has thirteen movable engraved brass toki. The movement is situated in a wooden case with glass on the front, left, and right sides so the movement is entirely visible. To wind the clock, the wooden dial can be removed by unlocking a brass turnbuckle. The winding key is stored in a small drawer at the bottom of the pillar. The time is indicated by an open-worked brass pointer which slides down the case trunk. These clocks were a uniquely Japanese invention that told time on a linear scale as the weight descended. Throughout the Tokugawa period, many versions of this type of clock were made.
