Wakeikoku - Japanese Scenery
Wadokei, Zen, Washi, Gold Leaf
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Version 1.3.0 adds Himeji Castle as a free scene and Miyajima as a Premium scene, with tide-aware morning, daytime, and evening views.
Wakeikoku is an ambient Japanese scenery app — designed to sit on your desk in landscape and let you watch time move through a calm ink-painted world.
Morning mist, afternoon light, sunset glow, a sky full of stars.
The scenery shifts gently with the hour, season, and weather.
Less of a clock, more of a small Japanese landscape you keep on display.
In 1.3.0, Himeji Castle joins the free scene lineup, and Miyajima joins Premium. Miyajima changes with the tide: quiet high-tide views in the morning and evening, and a low-tide daytime scene with visitors on the flats.
This app is for people who want a quiet aesthetic on a desk, bedside, or kitchen counter — washi texture, seasonal atmosphere, ambient Japanese visuals, and a sense of time you can feel rather than read.
