Description

Hungry Sea Otter by Yasuaki Kikuchi (2024)

Solved a few times but in perfect condition. Includes the original solution sheet.

Description from KCG:

I created this work with two motivations as follows:
First, I wanted to realize the mechanism of the traditional secret box in a more three-dimensional way.
Second, I wanted to express movements based on the ecology of my favorite animals.
While the exterior has a unique shape, the mechanism inside is complex, so it was a lot of work to do.
