鳩時計のこと
In Japan Cuckoo clocks were very popular in the 1970’s.
But now they are bit old fashioned item- but still lovely.
They are called as “pigeons clocks” in Japan, that’s why –
cuckoos are called “kankodori”, the name make a negative image for Japanese,
which means their buissiness is not going well especially for shop keepers.
Then they introduced the cuckoo as pigeon, just a symbol for this peaceful item.
