What are some good watch brands that use japanese characters (katakana, hiragana) on the dials?

So far i only see old Seikos and Kurono.

I went down the Kurono rabbit hole, and my conclusion is that it's a shit brand.

Asaoka's supposed legend is just web marketting. He's no genius watchmaker, he's never worked for Patek or anything, he's just a general designer who just made small productions under his own name, but his premium line is not that great.

For Kurono, not only the guy only uses second grade Miyotas in his shitters, but the finish of the watches is not that good.
Some people had specks of dust trapped inside the dials (which is really a shit QC level for such limited collections), and if you tell them, their customer service just tell you to fuck off because they don't do customer service outside Japan.

The only charm of the watch is the katakanas, that make it exotic, and we need more katakana watches, but when you remove this, the color combos is fucking ugly most of the time (like grey+brugundy barf).

Finally, if you go on chrono24 there's a lot of Kuronos that are sitting there, from resellers who thought they would make a profit on them because they are numbered limited series, but the fact is that they don't sell them at that price.
I predict a price drop on these. The ones who had an original price of $1100 they tried to sell them for $2000+, but it should be $800 or less.

Thanks for reading my blog.
