Memorial Logo

The Memorial Stained Glass Clock is a large clock displayed at Shinjuku Station's Tokyo Metro Marunouchi Line Metro Promenade from January 9 to January 15, 2017, in commemoration of the fifteenth anniversary of the Kingdom Hearts series.[1]

Design[edit]

The clock is composed of thirteen stained glass pieces mimicking the Stations of the Dive to the Heart; the central piece is larger and uses the art of Roxas's Stations of Serenity and Awakening, while the other twelve are smaller and placed around the central piece at the hour positions. The six o'clock piece is taken from the sole Station in Kingdom Hearts χ[chi], while the other eleven are original pieces based around existing Key Arts. Each individual piece is, on its own, a functional clock, although while on display, the central clock piece runs backward at an exaggerated speed.[?]

An 80" television display is placed next to the pieces, playing clips from the series compiled into an hour-long video alongside a countdown for the release of Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue. The current plan is to also put up a huge mural of the main characters in the series alongside a small exhibit of other clips and visuals from the series.[2]
