Mechanical clocks, like this one on display in our Explorers gallery, were introduced into Japan by Jesuit missionaries in the 1500s or by Dutch merchants in the 1600s and were typically made of brass or iron.

#ObjectOfTheWeek : Japanese Sake Cups
These two beautiful and delicate cups were used for drinking sake (an alcoholic drink made by fermenting rice). They are made of gold lacquer over tortoiseshell with designs depicting Mount Fuji and are signed by the artist. #Japan #sakecups
