Fluctuation Box was the 2021 Karakuri Christmas present by the longest-tenured current member of the Karakuri Creation Group (aside from the KCG founder, Kamei), Hiroshi Iwahara. For a KCG Christmas present, there is a lot packed into this box, including a very alluring and fidget-like movement of the parts. This is indeed a fun Karakuri box.
Here is Iwahara's description of Fluctuation Box:
"It was designed as a developed version of “Covered Chimney” (RF-16).
An additional gimmick was made, and it became an item that requires two steps of operation.
Kamei’s “Spring Box” (M-35) was one of the sources of the image, and each layer moves in a sway.
How do you move each layer to open the lid"
Of course, the box is pristinely made, and my copy is in mint condition and in its original box in its original plastic bag. Since it was a Karakuri Christmas present, it does not come with its individual solution.
I can ship within the US as a ground advantage (first class) package for between $6.35 and $6.65, or at insured priority mail pricing for between $10.20 and $12.55 if preferred. I am happy to ship
internationally at cost, but I cannot always guarantee that overseas
packages can be insured or tracked. Please do not send payment until postage cost is determined.
Thank you for viewing my auction!
