I created this work with two motivations as follows:
First, I wanted to realize the mechanism of the traditional secret box in a more three-dimensional way.
Second, I wanted to express movements based on the ecology of my favorite animals.
While the exterior has a unique shape, the mechanism inside is complex, so it was a lot of work to do.

The puzzle is located in the United States, but I will ship worldwide.

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.

It also comes with the insert shown in the last photo.Per the Karakuri website:Twin BoxYoshio OkiyamaITEMYO-2Created1/2000Size(box body)1...
