This Karakuri box was created for an exhibition on the theme of "Ancient Times." "KORO" in Japanese is a cylindrical tool that is laid under a load and is used to roll and move it when transporting heavy objects. The mechanism is very unusual and surprising as well. If you have a chance, please give it a try! I personally recommend it!

This Karakuri box was created for an exhibition on the theme of "Ancient Times." The motif is a kind of amphibian; the ichthyostega of the Paleozoic Devonian. It is not sure if they could walk properly because we are not even sure if they could move the hind legs. They might had been able to move forward by dragging their bodies using only the front legs. There are so many uncertain things with this creature, but it is also fun to think and imagine how things were at the time. These uncertain factors are the clues to open the box. It is not that difficult to open it, but still very interesting mechanism and I would say it is worth trying.

This mechanism of this box is almost identical as the “something or nothing” puzzle box created by the same craftsman in 2020. It is a small palm top size box with a little house inlayed on the top of the box. When you turn it around, you will see the whole bottom area can be pushed inside, but it comes back again. The design on the top and the tile are the clue to open the box! It is actually very simple mechanism, but ingenious. I had a trouble opening it, even though I could find out the way it opens after studying these clues. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

This box was created by Mr. Osamu Kasho as a part of collaborative work with a small doll “Kobito” creator Kohbo Alp. The box consists of 5 sections, which all come apart to reveal 2 storage areas. You have to remember the exact moves in order to put it back together, so you can enjoy both opening and closing of the puzzle box. This beautiful doll is very small but made really precisely. This box is based on the Bara-Bara box with a snowman, which was created in 2019, but the few extra steps are added to that. About Kobo Alp, please check his Instagram account.

This box was originally created over 15 years ago, but he hadn't had a chance to reproduce it again. He redesigned it with different woods used, so it might have made the box a little easier to open. He said this box was quite popular at an exhibition they held then with the unique moves and also how it opens is surprising. Those of you who obtained his Christmas present 2021 version might have noticed the similarity in the design and the idea actually comes from this box, so this work has also been interesting as a historical value of his puzzle box development, I would say.

The puzzle boxes created by Mr. Kawashima tend to be mechanical and often involves many steps to open, but his ring box is not really a storage box, but the aim of this box is to remove the ring inside. The rings on the top of the lid are not drawing, but it are inlaid and it comes with the metal ring. The first lid opens easily just like a normal box, but once you open the lid, you will notice that a ring is already stored in it, but the ring does not come off easily by pulling it. How can you remove it? That is the goal. He does not recommend this box to be used for other rings of your own, because it might break the ring or the box itself, but it would be a perfect present if you can put the ring of your choice for engagement etc, but with your own risk. I assume that as long as it is simple and thin ring without a huge stone, you will be able to put it inside.

What is so unique about this box is its appearance, Sakura mochi. Sakura means cherry and mochi means sticky rice sweet with sweet bean paste inside.

It can be opened with only one action, but it is actually hard to open unless you know the answer. This will be a perfect display object for your desk or shelf!

The name "Parabox" derives from the combined words "paradox" and "box". It is the shape of a Japanese traditional treasure box. When you untie the strings, you can open the first lid easily by lifting it, but you will quickly find out that the second lid it tightly locked. It looks very simple, but it is really well made and I was honestly very surprised by the solution and I quite like it. It is relatively heavy box weighing around 600g. The surface finishes are also carefully done and It is pretty as a display item on your shelf hiding something very personal thing in it from your family.
