Twin Box by Yoshio Okiyama (Karakuri) - RARE
This is an unusual and special box.  It was designed and made in 2000 by Yoshio Okiyama of the Karakuri Creation Group.  The last time one was up for auction was eight years ago.  Because this is such a unique item, I am setting it up as a 14-day auction.I have tested the box and it works well.Note that I only have the packaging lid, not the complete box.  It also comes with the insert shown in the last photo.Per the Karakuri website:Twin BoxYoshio OkiyamaITEMYO-2Created1/2000Size(box body)1...
