    an unusual opening process
    By lippatrice
    Everything about this is different from a classic *himitsu bako*—starting with its dimensions compared to a traditional 4-sun box. The opening steps are intriguing, and you get a pleasant surprise right from the very first move!
    An 11-step *himitsu bako* is also unusual.
    It is a beautiful, unique, high-quality piece; the movements are very smooth, as always, and it arrived in a gift bag, protected by a lovely cardboard box.
    Thank you, Hiroyuki, for this *himitsu bako* that stands out from the ordinary—I was pleasantly surprised by the modifications.
    Seller's response
    Thank you as always for your purchase and for your wonderful review! I am very happy to hear that you enjoyed it. I am also glad that the idea I had in mind when making this box came across to you. For those who are already familiar with traditional Japanese puzzle boxes...🤭, I would like to continue making boxes that still use sliding mechanisms, but open in a different way from usual. Thank you once again.
