Description

Karakuri perfection.  The smooth, flowing curves of a trumpet have been masterfully crafted from wood with striking attention to detail.  Its theme is not just decorative but deeply woven into the puzzle’s logic, with a solution that is natural and cohesive.  This beautifully executed masterpiece captures the very spirit of Karakuri craftsmanship: elegant, surprising, and delightfully playful. All original packaging included.

 

Karakuri product description:

 

Trumpet fingering and Karakuri are combined in this item. In the proposal, there was only a trumpet. But a case was added to make a full-scale mechanism. Solve the Karakuri and open the drawer that is in the case. There are only 3 buttons that can be operated. The mechanics of the trumpet that can make all sounds with just those 3 buttons is amazing and is like a puzzle. There is no actual sound. But, try this item as you actually play trumpet on the scale.


This work was produced by Karakuri Creation Group’s craftsmen, from a selected idea of “11th Karakuri Puzzle Idea Contest”.

Original idea by Togo Tsukamoto
Hand-crafted by Hiroshi Iwahara (Karakuri Creation Group)

 

Size: 112×177×146mm

Material: walnut, keyaki (zelkova), maple, stainless steel plate and rod

Dwemer Construct - Stickman #34 (Robert Yarger)
This may be the most creative and complex creation from one of the world’s foremost puzzle designers and craftsmen, Robert Yarger (“Stickman”).  Only 60 of this massive puzzle were made – this is #40.  Rather than try to generate the words to describe this singular creation, I’ll instead rely on excerpts from the review by Boxes and Booze that captures the puzzle so well: “The Dwemer Construct, aka The Stickman No. 34 Puzzlebox, is an impressive artifact indeed. It appears to be...
