Description

This is a special auction.  I believe this puzzle has never been previously auctioned.  This may be your one chance to own it!  Because it is so unique, I am setting this up as a two-week auction.
It is also a very large puzzle at 220×160×175mm (8.7"x6.3"x6.9").  It weighs 1.25kg (2lb 12oz).  
Note that the solution card is included, but I do not have the original packaging.

Per the Karakuri website:

This was a bold and unique idea. This represents a 3-D model of Hakone or, "Diorama of Hakone". This product uses many of the same ideas and techniques that I’ve used in chest making so far. The final product turned out to be a fun Karakuri box.
This work was produced by Karakuri Creation Group’s craftsmen, from a selected idea of “10th Karakuri Puzzle Idea Contest”.

Original idea by Osamu Kadono
Hand-crafted by Akio Kamei, Yoh Kakuda (Karakuri Creation Group)


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

This is a very tricky puzzle to disassemble.  The simple exterior hides a fascinating interior.  If you want a peek, you can see a bit of the inside in the 2002 IPP Design Competition PDF.  The puzzle is a 5" cube that weighs in at almost two pounds.  It's made from walnut, jatoba, and jarrah. The puzzle is located in the United States, but I will ship worldwide.Customs forms for international shipments will reflect actual payments.Payments can be made through PayPal (Friends & Family ...
