Stunning craftsmanship, this beautiful puzzle is in the same spirit of Karakuri's boxes but a bit more difficult in my opinion. Larger than expected and I don't currently have room in my collection so I'm looking to pass it along.
Like-new condition. Kept in a safe, smoke-free & humidity controlled home.

Fugu
For my first animal shaped box I chose the pufferfish, which I have been lucky enough to see in person while snorkeling in the Caribbean. It was very cute and shy hiding in the coral reef from divers and marine predators. When scared, pufferfish can grow to 2-3 times their size. In Japan Fugu may be referred to as Fuku 福, which means luck. They can be found displayed in their puffed up form as lanterns and decoration in front of shops and restaurants as a symbol of good fortune.
