After another earthquake hit the area this year, a 100-year-old Japanese clock that had stopped functioning after the massive 2011 earthquake began ticking again. An earthquake devastated Japan's north-eastern coast in march 2011. The catastrophic earthquake was accompanied by a tsunami, which claimed the lives of over 18,000 people. At the time, the clock was held in a Buddhist temple in Yamamoto. When the tsunami hit the city, it was completely underwater. Bunsun Sakano, the clock's owner, attempted but failed to repair the damaged clock.

The clock began to tick on its own ten years later, in february 2021, as japan experienced another earthquake in the city. Another strong earthquake hit the same area on february 13 of this year. Meteorologists say it is an aftershock of the major earthquake that struck in 2011. Sakano was going through his everyday life the next morning when he heard a ticking sound and discovered that the clock had begun running again on its own.

When the second earthquake occurred in 2021, a representative from Seiko, the clock's maker, thought it was likely that the pendulum, which had stopped swinging since the 2011 earthquake, would start moving again. Another explanation is that the dust within the clock becomes loose as a result of the earthquake in 2021. The clock restarting, according to Bunsun Sakano, has inspired him.
