Description

This puzzle has only been up for auction twice, the last time was almost four years ago.  Here's your chance!

I want to note that I feel like there's something hidden with this puzzle.  I've solved it, and it's wonderful, like you'd expect from an Iwahara puzzle.  But it also seems like maybe there's something more.  I couldn't find any information within the puzzle or on the internet, but if you buy this, and you find something beyond the initial solve, please let me know!

Per the Karakuri website:

“Three-color DANGO” equals three lines. The turn of the each DANGO’s color is different from the other. You can move each “Three-color DANGO” right or left. There are three drawers in the lower part. All the drawers are locked. The front boards of the drawers are colored the same as DANGO.
Now, maybe you’ve already figured out how to play with this work. By moving each “Three-color DANGO”, please unlock the drawers. From a structural perspective, the drawers come out only 18 millimeters. Then, please take the front board off for the top. Oops. Don’t replace the front boards!  

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

Twin Box by Yoshio Okiyama (Karakuri) - RARE
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.  Because this is such a unique item, I am setting it up as a 14-day auction.I have tested the box and it works well.Note that I only have the packaging lid, not the complete box.  It also comes with the insert shown in the last photo.Per the Karakuri website:Twin BoxYoshio OkiyamaITEMYO-2Created1/2000Size(box body)1...
