A leap into the past!By lippatriceSeller's responseThank you very much for the wonderful review! It had been a long time since I last made a 6-sun puzzle box. I do not expect to make many of them in the future, so I decided to offer it as a limited piece. Until you pointed it out, I hadn’t realized that this style could be seen as a classic, traditional one. After seeing the photos you shared, I felt the same way. That is a perspective that only someone who has seen many Japanese puzzle boxes could have. It was a truly insightful and thoughtful comment, Thank you very much!1 of 1 viewers said this review is helpful.Is this review helpful for you?
The box works perfectly and smoothly, as usual. Thank you, Hiroyuki, for this contemporary piece with an old-fashioned design.
