Item description

"In a typical Japanese puzzle box, once the first move is discovered, the rest of the solution is usually a repetition of the same sequence, even as the number of moves increases. An 11-step puzzle box is normally made with two sliding keys and three sliding panels. For this box, I changed that arrangement slightly and made it with one sliding key and four sliding panels instead. I think even people who are very familiar with Japanese puzzle boxes will notice that the sequence feels a little different from the usual one."

"The Japanese puzzle box (Himitsu-bako) is made only of wood, environmentally-friendly products. This a one of traditional art work of Japan. The origin goes back even to the Edo and Meiji era (1800s) in Japan. It has been handed down by the very few craftsmen. I am crafting full-time these puzzle boxes by myself. I had training for 10 years and I'm crafting these Japanese puzzle boxes and Yosegi-zaiku for over 20 years. All items are made in my workshop and shipped to you directly.
