R cube by Hideaki Kawashima
¥35,000
SOLD OUT
It was designed and crafted by Mr. Hideaki Kawashima. Although it looks very simple, it is beautifully made and I personally found this box very hard to open. It has two compartments and you have to open the first one to move onto the second one. I would say the first compartment is manageable to open, but the second one was so hard to open, so I cheated, but still fun though. Can you give it a try? ●Craftsman: Hideaki Kawashima ●Size (box body) : 65 × 65 × 65 mm ●Size (storage space) : 34 × 34 × 22 mm/26 × 26 × 11 mm ●Material : cherry, purple heart, magnolia About shipping As for the box with this size, EMS is the only option we ship. When you purchase 1 box, the shipping cost is as displayed, but when you order more than one, the shipping cost will vary depending on the total weight, so additional shipping cost will be charged.

Super cubi small version 324 moves karakuri puzzle box
¥75,000
This box is made using the binary system originally developed by Mr. Kamei, who is the representative of the karakuri group. This is remake of RF-4, but made into the smaller scale. This applies a trinary system and you can open this with 324 moves. To close the box, you also need to slide 324 moves again. The movement is repetitive, but you need a great concentration to keep track of where you are. Otherwise you will end up with making the same moves over and over again... but when you manage to open the box, the feeling of satisfaction is so great so that you would feel doing that all over again! The inner space of the box is very small, but the mechanical area of the box is beautiful and I personally enjoy looking at the details of the mechanism. Craftsman : Hiroshi Iwahara ●Size (box body) : 85 × 85 × 85 mm ●Size (storage space) : 25 × 25 × 25 mm Materials : magnolia, zebra wood, walnut About shipping As for the box with this size, EMS is the only option we ship. When you purchase 1 box, the shipping cost is as displayed, but when you order more than one, the shipping cost will vary depending on the total weight, so additional shipping cost will be charged.

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. Craftsman : Yoh Kakuda Size (box body) : 85×52×160mmm Size (strage space) : 30×30.5×28.5mm Material : walnut, lacquer tree, etc About shipping As for the box with this size, EMS is the only option we ship.
