    Seller's response
    Thank you very much Patrice! Rosewood is a rare and very hard wood. Normally, it would be difficult to use it for lids (it is not flexible, so it is easy to break if thinned), but it has become possible by pasting the sliced rosewood on plywood. Thank you always for your wonderful messages!

    another beautiful creation with this himitsu bako in a completely new format for a himitsu bako. the smell of hinoki wood is very pleasant when you open the box. the yosegi comes out very well with this light wood that looks like ivory.beautiful contrast with this strip of purple heart.the keys and the panel slide perfectly without constraint.the shipment is always very fast and well protected and well presented in a pretty gift bag.thank you Hiroyuki.always looking forward to seeing new works.
    Seller's response
    Yes. Thank you so much Patrice! I have made this puzzle boxes as one of the new challenging puzzle boxes. Hinoki wood is a Japanese tree that has never been used in himitsu-bako works, recently I like to use this wood. and the wide size himitsu-bako is one of my favorite shape. I will make this shape again by other design. Your reviews and words make me happy! Thank you always!!

    this beautiful creation stands out with its diagonal stripe of purple heart. a nice contrast with the mizuki
    at the opening of the box emerges the very pleasant scent of hinoki
    it always opens well without difficulty, the panels and the keys slide perfectly
    congratulations once again Hiroyuki with these wood assemblies.

  • Beautiful Puzzle Box
    By Anonymous
    The box is well crafted and beautiful! I am giving it as a gift, and I think the recipient will be very happy! After purchase of the box, it was shipped the next day, and arrived 3 days after that, even though I live in the US. I would absolutely buy more puzzle boxes from this talented craftsman again.

  • une piece originale et rare
    By lippatrice
    this himitsu bako is a magnificent work. The design is quite unusual and rare. the colors of the different woods used form a nice contrast while harmonizing perfectly
    the work to achieve this work is difficult as the craftsman says and he also made a border around the box adding an additional difficulty
    the panels slide perfectly and the opening is really different from other himitsu bako
    It is as beautiful flat as standing on a support
    a surprising and very limited work!
    Thank you Hiroyuki
    Seller's response
    Thank you for your wonderful comments and good star rating. Certainly, hexagons shape are more difficult to produce than squares. I will make more unique boxes in the future. Your message gives me a lot of motivation. Thank you Patrice!
