According to local folklore, Tamura never wore a wristwatch in public, despite most of his predecessors often boasting expensive wristwatches in public appearances. Thus, many locals joked that Tamura simply used the Clock Tower (built by Tamura's predecessor Saburō Yamaguchi (山口三郎)) to check the time, leading to the clock's naming.</ref>
