Description

Possibly the most classic Karakuri Creation Group Box, "Coffee Cup" was designed in 1985 by the great Karakuri Creation Group founder Akio Kamei, and finally reproduced this year (currently sold out). Made from teak, rosewood, and maple, it is a GORGEOUS Karakuri box; even the two lumps of sugar and the teaspoon are superbly made. The puzzle measures 16 cm x 16 cm x 8.5 cm (6.25 in x 6.25 in x 3.35 in). Coffee Cup displays beautifully. My copy is in pristine condition, with original box, solution, plastic bags, etc.

I can ship within the US as a priority package for between $10.35 and $18.05 plus extra insurance, depending on postal code. I am happy to ship internationally at cost (typically between $25 and $30, depending on country — the package will weigh almost 2 lb or around 900 g), but I cannot always guarantee that overseas packages can be insured. Please do not send payment until postage cost is determined.

Thank you for viewing my auction!

"Detour Box" (DA-5) was the 2024 Christmas gift of fast rising star Daiki Arimura of the Karakuri Creation Group. Honestly, it is the cutest little box to behold! The box is made from walnut, magnolia, and maple, and displays beautifully. Here are Arimura's comments on the box:"The drawer opens a little bit, but it won't open fully. Can you guess how to open it? As the name suggests, it will open by taking a detour."As is the case with many of the works from the Karakuri Creation Group, ...
