This work was designed as a Christmas present for 2009. There are times when a customer opens the karakuri-box only when given a hint at the exhibition. The hints are the movements of the parts, or the sounds when they shake the box for example. What would happen if there were no such hints available? This box was made from such question.

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

Three color DANGO by Hiroshi Iwahara (Karakuri) - RARE

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.
