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!

The surface of L cube is, as you can notice, carved with Celtic knot designs, but each design on the four surfaces is supposed to be the same, but the positions of each square have been changed. I know that means something, but I could not figure it out. There are many possibilities of combinations, so you may have to try each one by one and eventurely you may manage to open it. The box is beautiful as a piece of art and the movement of the each slide is smooth and comforting somehow. I personally love this box and I believe you will also do.

This famous chance meeting box was designed by Mr. Tatsuo Miyamoto years ago and this has been very popular everytime the box is made. Mr. Miyamoto is getting old and the last time the box was made, I was told that it could be really the last Chance meeting boxes he made, but somehow it was made again, so here you are! This might be really the last chance to get this box. As a puzzle, it is not so difficult to open, but the ingeneous mechanism intrigues people to purchase the box as a special gift for the loved ones. There is a heart on the top. The first lid opens easily as you lift it, but there is a second lid underneath with a clover designed on it. I do not want to spoil your fun, so I will not explain any further.

What you can see is the somewhat randomly placed triangles on the top and there is a little hole in the centre. It also appears to be a drawer on one side of the box and it is tightly locked. The hint is the title; Ninja, which means a fighter who hidingly move around to hit the target and it often carry a small sword and shuriken (i.e. a star shaped throwing weapon). Oh, I might have given you too much information. Oops! I personally love the way it opens and I hope you will also do.

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. If they don't know the answer, your secret will be secured even when the box is visible from everyone around it. How fun is that!

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.

The motif is based on the famous experiment, Pavlovian conditioned reflex i.e. when a dog is always fed when a bell rung at the same time, the dog can be conditioned to salivate when the bell is rung without feeding him. Although it is based on that experiment, the way the box opens is a little different, but it comes with the hand bell. Mr. Kakuda's works are often cute to look at and very collectable. I personally like to put them on my collection shelf and enjoy looking at them as I drink my favorite whiskey. The mechanism is simple but lovely.

This coffee cup was created a while ago by the leader of the puzzle box association, Mr. Kamei. Although it is very classic work of his, it's always been popular due to the design of the box and also the beauty of the cup shape made of all wood. It is a beautiful box as a piece of art and it will be a perfect interior decorating item on your shelf.

This work was created for an exhibition on the theme of "Karakuri Experiments". There are eight different symbols on each side of the pedestal, which is located just under the round flask. It's a recipe of alchemy. After you solve the mystery of the eight symbols, the drawer will open. You have to precisely follow the creator's intended procedure to open the drawer. It appears to be very easy to open, but actually it is not as simple as that!

This drawer also has two storage spaces and the first box opens with only 5 movements, but the second box can be opened with 241 moves! The movement is a little repetitive and you need a patience and concentration to manage to open the second box. It is so fun!!!! If you do not concentrate on the each movement, you can easily get lost where you are and you may have to repeat the same movements over and over again. When you are concentrating on the puzzle box, you will find it is very relaxing forgetting about pressure and stress from the everyday life. Please make yourself comfortable on a sofa with a glass of your favorite drink (in my case whisky) , when you try this box. By the time when you manage to open the box, you will realize how relaxing it is. This is very limited production.

This very unique puzzle box was created by Mr. Shou Sugimoto and the title Onushimo waruyono means "you are also a bad one, aren't you". Onushi means you and mo means also and waruyono means bad aren't you. Although the bribery is obviously bad thing to do and everyone hates those who are involved in the bribery, but that has been practiced in every counties for a long time which is as long as the history of the human beings have lived on earth, because it seems the bribery is almost the human nature and it is only a matter of degree that people give gifts to each other to thank people. In Japan when the politicians accept bribery, it is often hidden under a box of sweets or snacks. As you can see, there is a wooden box behind the sleeve. That is obviously a hint for this bribery. You can also participate in the dark side of Japan with the bribery. Craftsman : Shou Sugimoto Size (box body) : 125×98×143mm Size (storage space) : 81×42×69mm Material : oak, magnolia, American black cherry, wendge * The pattern of the marquetry is all different.

This box is based on the "Dragon Ⅱ" (P-54-2, 2017/03), which was also made by Mr. Akio Kamei, but the mechanism has been improved. The way it open is very unique like other Mr. Kamei works and I found it is pretty primitive mechanism compared to other latest karakuri puzzle boxes using only wood for the sliding movements. The box has 4 small compartments, so you can store small things in categorical order, so as a box, it is also very practical. This doesn't look like a box at all, so it is a perfect safe to hide your treasures. Enjoy the unique movement when opening the lid.

This box was created by Mr. Osamu Kasho for an exhibition on the theme of "Ancient Times" and this is based on the story of the Trojan horse. Several warriors hid inside a large wooden horse, which was then sent to the enemy camp in this story. There are two compartments in this horse and a warrior is also hiding somewhere in it, which is so unexpected. The mechanism of the box is so unexpected and absolutely surprising. I was honestly astonished by the solution and I can tell you will also love this horse! It is a little pricy but I now know the reason for the price and I think it is worth what you are paying for.

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.
