The large puzzle box opens in 5 steps, and the small inner “Mame” box opens in 14 steps. The small “Mame” box is placed inside the large 5-step box. “Mame” means beans in Japanese, which shows how small it is. 2.5 sun is a Japanese unit of measurement. One sun is about 3 cm (1.18 inches), so the length of this box is about 7.5 cm (3.0 inches). Traditional Japanese marquetry, called yosegi, is used for the pattern of this box. Many kinds of natural wood are used for this yosegi work. This Japanese puzzle box is made only from wood. It is handmade by Hiroyuki Oka.
