What's the time? It's Naaaan Time!
These loosely shaped and delicious-looking works of art tell us the time in a calm and relaxing way.
When you look at the clock, a loosely formed naan tells the time. Its name is "Ima Nanji," a play on the Japanese words for "What the time?"
The fact that it doesn't have a dial and only tells you the time roughly makes it even better. I want to live in the general sense of time without saying too much about the details, just like Naan's loose form, and take it easy. That's how I came up with this work.
Of course, the naan itself is the real baked naan bread. Therefore, each piece has a different texture and expression.
Backstory
It was inspired by Salvador Dali's masterpiece, "The Clinging of Memory," aka "The Soft Clock. He describes the image of the past time fading and dissolving in memory as a "soft clock."
The contradiction created by making the clock, a measure of time, ambiguous, raises questions about the busy days when we are so busy that we are pressed for time. I hope you will laugh at the result, though I have tried to make it sound complicated!

Care Instructions
Each Pampshade is made from real bread, so every piece is naturally unique in shape, size, and color.
Because the inside of the bread is carefully hollowed out during the production process, small cracks or tiny holes may occasionally be present. These are natural characteristics of the piece and are not considered defects.
Please rest assured that these features will not cause mold growth or deterioration.
Preservation
Each piece has been treated with preservative and anti-mold coatings.
In the unlikely event that mold develops, we will replace your item with an equivalent product if it occurs within one year of purchase. (To date, no such cases have been reported. Please note that this does not constitute a lifetime guarantee.)
Handling
※ Please handle with care, as each piece is fragile. (Its strength is comparable to that of glass.)
※ Avoid allowing alcohol-based sprays or cleaners to come into contact with the bread surface, as they may cause it to become cloudy or discolored.
