Description

Still in its original shrinkwrap.

Why do I say this is very rare? I can't find any prior auctions or any other online information about this puzzle.

Note that this appears at first glance to be a typical 2D packing puzzle, with typical pieces (zoom in on the primary image to see them). However, it's something quite different. You can read the instructions in the yellow image. A very clever idea!

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 preferred).
Buyer to pay shipping calculated after auction.
Please wait for the updated invoice before making payment.

This is an unusual and special box. It was designed and made in 2000 by Yoshio Okiyama of the Karakuri Creation Group. The last time one was up for auction was eight years ago.
