The models in question are the Casio JF-M200-TJ-KHK and JF-M200-TJ-KHG, introduced about a year after the DW-5600 limited edition watch, also dedicated to the Edo-era artist. The first version is designed in the style of the famous print «The Great Wave in Kanagawa» and combines a blue wave with a beige background. The second model is inspired by the work «Clear Day, South Wind» and is decorated with an image of Mount Fuji in a blue-orange color scheme. In both cases, the case and keys are inkjet printed, and the font of the keys is customized to match the aesthetics of the ukiyo-e genre.
The JF-M200-TJ series calculators feature a slanted display for improved readability. A total of 31 keys are provided, including functions for tax and time calculation. The screen displays up to 12 digits, and the user can customize the number of decimal places and rounding mode. Total Totalize (GT) and independent memory functions are also supported. A built-in solar panel is used to maximize battery life.
