Description

NOTE: I have solved and reset this puzzle several times recently.  The mechanism is sticky and does not fully operate as I would expect.  Perhaps some of the issues can be fixed with a bit of sanding?  Still, it's a beautiful piece of woodworking in otherwise good condition.

This work was designed as a Christmas present for 2014. It is very difficult to convey ones feeling in a letter. Even after completing the letter, you may decide not to actually send it. If ones true feelings are conveyed even through the distance, surely the receivers heart grows fonder as well.



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

NOTE: While generally this puzzle is in very good condition, the opening mechanism is sticky.  I (a non-woodworker) believe this could be solved with a bit of sanding.  I can't say more without spoiling how it works.Per the Karakuri website:bookTatsuo MiyamotoITEMMY-26Created11/2015Size(box body)120×104×45mmSize(storage part)*****Materialwalnut, padoauk, cheese wood, kobushi magnolia,FacebookTwitter共有This work was designed as a Christmas present for 2015.I made a book-shaped card case th...
