This work was designed as a Christmas present for 2013. I have been interested in the Travel Pillow for some time. It was a wooden box pillow that was popular during the Edo period for travel. When it was actually used, items required for the trip, such as a light or a mirror, were stored compactly inside. 

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

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...
