Kagaribi Japanese Watch Face

WabiFace Kagaribi brings a watch fire burning at the foot of a castle wall to your Wear OS smartwatch.

🔥 KAGARIBI — THE WATCH FIRE
A kagaribi is the iron basket of burning pine that lit castle gates and night roads in old Japan. On this dial, a wall of dressed stone in the style of gold maki-e lacquer rises on the left under an old pine, mist lies beyond, and the fire burns on the paving at the wall's foot. The right half is bare black lacquer with polished gold batons, doubled at twelve, and a gold date window at six.

🔥 A FIRE THAT LIVES
The flame is never still. It moves through seven painted flame shapes over each minute, leans and sways, swells and sinks back, and its tongues stream upward and break at the tips. The glow on the stones and the paving rises and fades with it. Sparks lift from the fire one at a time and fade as they climb, and a faint fire-lit haze rises from the flame tips into the dark.

🔥 OR LET IT REST
Keep the fire burning still, or let it burn down: the dial then shows the same night with the basket holding only glowing embers.

⌚ ANALOG OR DIGITAL
Gold hands with a slim gold seconds hand, or the time in large gold numerals, the hour above the minute.

🕐 FOLLOWS YOUR WATCH
The digital time reads 12-hour or 24-hour according to your watch's own setting.
