Elevator karakuri puzzle box by Mr. Hiroshi Iwahara
¥27,500
This elevator box is harder than you think to open it. You can easily open the half of the drawer by pulling it, but the the other half is really challenging to open. You can move the left half of the top panel and when they are adjusted to the right positions, you can eventually pull the drawer entirely to open, but i personally find it hard to figure it out. If you have already tried his earlier work "Bean bag drawer", which he created about 10 years ago, you might find this easy, but if you haven't, please try this box. -Craftsman : Hiroshi Iwahara -Size(body): 135 x 84 x 60mm -Size (storage) : 59 x 47 x 28mm(2 rooms) -Materials: walnut, wendge, maple, magnolia About shipping As for the box with this size, EMS is the only option we ship.

Fortune cards Karakuri puzzle box
¥25,000
The original Fortune cards box was created by Mr. Miyamoto, but the inner size was a little too small for keeping actual playing cards in it, so they made the size a little bigger, so this time you can store a deck of cards with the box in it. The mechanism as a puzzle is very simple and easy to open, but it is beautifully made. It will be a perfect gift for someone who likes collecting cards.

Moon and Bear puzzle box
¥37,500
SOLD OUT
Moon and Bear was created by Mr. Yoh Kakuda few years ago and due to the complexity of the manufacturing procedure, the number of production has been very limited, so every time he makes, the number is very limited. A sad looking bear is holding a crescent moon and when he becomes what he really wants to be, the lock to open the drawer releases. It is relatively easy to open, but it looks so cute and it would be a nice display item on your shelf or desk etc. Moreover you can keep a secret in it.
