Description

Akio Kamei is the founder of the Karakuri Creation Group and is famous for puzzle boxes that merge impeccable craftsmanship, beautiful presentation, and clever themes and solutions. Among his many boxes is a series that expand in various ways as you solve them. This might be his most intricate, an expansion box with a “n-ary” solution mechanism that requires 35 steps to open. This is a relatively large puzzle with a striking circular cutout on each face, resulting in a box that looks quite impressive on display. All original packing material is included.
