Description
Loopy L Cube #1 is Juno’s first assembly-style puzzle — a fresh venue in which he could showcase his signature ingenuity. Juno designed nine V-shaped pieces, each with a clever combination of tabs and holes, which must interlock to form a seemingly simple 3x3x3 cube. But true to Juno’s trademark style, the solution is surprisingly complex, with many near-miss configurations that tempt but ultimately fail. This now very hard-to-find puzzle, crafted from New Guinea Walnut and Silver Ash, with a display tray in PNG Rosewood, has substantial heft, satisfying feel, and artful presence. A true collector’s piece, it exemplifies a balance of tactile beauty and cerebral challenge that defines Juno’s finest work.


Size: 75 x 75 x 75 mm

Material: New Guinea Walnut, Silver Ash, PNG Rosewood

Condition: Perfect

Creative Secret Type L (2003) - Akio Kamei / Tatsuo Miyamoto (Karakuri)
Way back in 2003 Karakuri introduced a set of boxes called the “Creative Secret Box Series”.  Now extremely hard to find, there were a total of nine Creative Secret puzzles.  Each was designed by a different craftsman, produced by senior Karakuri member Tatsuo Miyamoto, and featured a similar-styled almost fireworks-like pattern on some of the faces.  Type L is the second release in this series, designed by Karakuri founder Akio Kamei.  It came in three different patterns, with inlaid pa...

Anteater (2009) - Yoh Kakuda (Karakuri)
Yoh Kakuda’s description on Karakuri’s Japanese language website reads “‘物語性のある動物ものが得意’“, which ChatGPT translates to “I'm good at animal-themed stories with a narrative”.  Anteater is one of Kakuda’s early works that showcases this style.  It presents its namesake in a whimsical fashion with a delightful solution that’s tightly coupled to its subject.  It’s wonderful.  All original packing material is included. Karakuri product description: ...

Gentleman Crocodile (2022) - Yoh Kakuda (Karakuri)
Yoh Kakuda is especially well-known for puzzle boxes that feature whimsical animal creations.  Gentleman Crocodile is one of Kakuda’s best, perfectly coupling theme and puzzle.  Thematically the puzzle presents us with its incongruous and humorous namesake: a crocodile wearing a hat.  Further, its solution is not only connected to its theme, but gives the solver an unexpected wonderful visual surprise along the way.  All original packing material is included. Karakuri product description:...
