Materialchanchin, mizuki (dogwood), magnolia, keyaki (zelkova), walnut, maple, etc.
This work was designed as a Christmas present for 2020.
I made a pretty box with Christmas boots as a motif.
The gimmick is simple.
As I learned, after making everything, the red boots that Japanese people are familiar with are unique to Japan and are not universal.

The puzzle is located in the United States, but I will ship worldwide.
