Karakuri 'Digital Numbers' Puzzle Box - Rare!

A fantastic limited edition and very large Karakuri puzzle box.

What an impact this makes, it's a very impressively sized Karakuri and looks absolutely awesome!

Original idea / concept by Yousuke Tanaka, hand-crafted by Osamu Kasho.

Highly collectable and beautifully crafted from Oak, Wendge, Mizuki (Dogwood), Purple Heart and Cherry.

Handled very carefully, still in superb condition, looks absolutely beautiful.

Comes as shown in the photo: in original storage / gift box, with solution sheet in original sealed envelope and QR code card that takes you to a solution video. It also has a small general Karakuri information booklet with it.

This seems to be a very rare Karakuri now, get it while you can as you may not get another chance!

This puzzle is part of a large job lot of puzzles I am selling on behalf of a serious puzzle collector friend, so please see my other Puzzle Paradise adverts for some rare and interesting puzzles.

Please note: Payment by Paypal, bank transfer or Wise are all acceptable. Shipping fees and Paypal fees to be added after the end of the auction and to be covered by the buyer please. International purchasers from other countries are of course welcome, but final payment to be sent / received in GBP please. If paying by Paypal, a friends / family payment would also be fine by me if you want to save costs on the fees, I don't mind either way.

I can provide postage quotes upon request if you want an idea of the likely cost before bidding.

International customers please bear in mind you may have some customs charges to pay when the puzzle arrives in your country.

Extremely Rare Colour Variant of Wil Strijbos Dovetail Cube No.1

I believe this to be an extremely rare 'wrongly coloured' version of the Wil Strijbos Dovetail Cube No.1, possibly one of the very first batches, a prototype, or a production error, I am unsure. Dovetail Cube No.1 is usually blue and green, and Dovetail Cube No.3 is usually blue and purple, but this is a Dovetail Cube No.1 in blue and purple. The collector that this belonged to says that he has been keeping an eye on Strijbos Dovetail Cubes listed for sale on various websites for about the past...
