The Slow Clock

Twelve centuries of the year, written down.

Kyoto's full-bloom dates of Prunus jamasakura come from Aono and Kazui (2008), Aono and Saito (2010) and Aono (2012), as kept by Yasuyuki Aono and Genki Katata, via Our World in Data. Burgundy's Pinot noir harvest dates come from Chuine et al. (2004) at NOAA NCEI Paleoclimatology. The ice dates for Lake Suwa and the River Torne come from the Global Lake and River Ice Phenology Database, NSIDC G01377. Dates are Gregorian throughout. Burgundy's date is the median of up to 18 villages, set to Dijon's calendar.
