Bus Stop (2018) - Osamu Kasho (Karakuri)

Bus Stop is a fantastic example of celebrated puzzle craftsman Osamu Kasho’s singular combination of playful Karakuri design coupled with delightful puzzling mechanic.  There’s a bus.  There’s a stop sign.  We all know what a vehicle does at a stop sign.  How does this play out here?  Figuring that out is the key to opening the box, and even with the solution being connected to the puzzle’s theme it can still take some time to figure out the key step.  And it’s beautiful, crafted from six different woods.  Bus Stop is a fun puzzle that looks great on display.  All original packing material is included
