Description

Urashima is a delightful, hard-to-find 2013 Karakuri creation by famed craftsman Tatsuo Miyamoto.  As with the best Karakuris, its theme and solution are beautifully coupled.  The puzzle box is inspired by the ancient Japanese tale of Urashima Tarō, a fisherman who rescues a turtle and is rewarded with what feels like only a few days with the princess Otohime in the underwater Dragon Palace.  When he returns home he discovers that centuries have passed, and upon opening a mysterious box given to him by the Princess he ages and dies.  Hopefully you will similarly open this mysterious box, but with a less ominous outcome than the puzzle’s namesake.  All original packaging included.
