Description

This little puzzle box is very cool with a clever mechanism. It is very nicely crafted from Walnut and Mikuzi (Dogwood). The fit, finish and design of this puzzle is quite astounding and I can definitely see why many collect ‘Karakuri’ puzzles!

Here’s a Description from Osamu:

"Same mechanism as Christmas present for 2017, Baby whale. I remade bigger a little than before and added a box for storage. A Karakuri box of friendly faced whale. It’s not difficult to open. You can peek inside its mechanism. It’s simple mechanism, but please enjoy to see how all parts are linked after you solve this.”

Comes in original packaging with solution card.
