Description

This gorgeous, ENORMOUS Karakuri comes from their 5th Idea Contest.  This Karakuri tightly couples its theme and solution, and has fantastic shelf presence.  It depicts a thermos container decanting liquid into a cup.  How can you stop the flow?  Answer the question and you’ll open the box.   To the best of my knowledge this is the first time it has ever been available via auction.  All original packaging included.

 

Karakuri product description:

 

Fill the teacup with hot water from the thermos. But be careful to not let it overflow. How can you turn it off? Be careful not to scald yourself.

This work was produced by Karakuri Creation Group’s craftsmen, from a selected idea of “5th Karakuri Puzzle Idea Contest”.

 

Original idea by Syunsuke Ohno

Hand-crafted by Yoh Kakuda (Karakuri Creation Group)

 

Size: 120×169×164mm
