Designers note | Norihiko Terayama

Hourglass ... a bubble clock
hourglass? No, it's a "bubble clock".

Are the bubbles falling? No, the bubbles "rise" up and down.

3 minutes? No, the time is different. It can be a few seconds, or it can last for a few minutes.

"Enjoy" instead of "measuring" time
An hourglass is a tool for accurately "measuring" time.

But the time it takes to carve bubbles is much more ambiguous than that of sand. There are big bubbles, small bubbles, slow bubbles and continuous bubbles, so please enjoy the time when the bubbles are chopped up.
