Planet with a Ring Ⅱ (KW-28) by Hideaki Kawashima (Karakuri)

Planet with a Ring Ⅱ (KW-28) by Hideaki Kawashima (Karakuri)

Master Kawashima writes: "This Karakuri box is based on a planet with a ring. The ring is in the way and the lid will not open, but it does not require any force to remove the ring. Please wrack your brain and think of a solution. There is enough space for the finger ring.

As a side note, on March 23, 2025, the rings of Saturn will be almost invisible due to the tilt of Saturn and the position of the Earth.  In this piece, the grain of the rings is made to look beautiful; six parts are joined together from a single board to create this look. Please take a look at it from a direct horizontal view."

Unusual karakuri puzzle mechanism crafted in oak, keyaki (zelkova), maple, magnolia, cherry, walnut.  New in original box with all inserts.
