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

Dashi - Karakuri Idea Contest 2018
Dashi, like many of the best Karakuri Idea Contest winners, reflects an item from Japanese culture.  In this case Dashi is designed to look like a traditional hand plane style bonito shaver.  It has three parts: the main cutter box, a lid that covers it, and a piece of bonito fish.  The box has a drawer that doesn’t seem to come out, which is where the bonito flakes would accumulate for an actual bonito shaver.  As with the best Idea Contest winners, the theme and puzzle are connected, her...

Bus Stop (2018) - Osamu Kasho (Karakuri)
Bus Stop is a fantastic example of celebrated puzzle craftsman Osamu Kasho’s singular combination of playful Karakuri design coupled with delightful puzzling mechanic.  There’s a bus.  There’s a stop sign.  We all know what a vehicle does at a stop sign.  How does this play out here?  Figuring that out is the key to opening the box, and even with the solution being connected to the puzzle’s theme it can still take some time to figure out the key step.  And it’s beautiful, craft...
