Description
Karakuri craftsman Hiroshi Iwahara is known for puzzle boxes with highly creative and original mechanics.  Fluctuation Box is a fantastic example of this.  It has four layers constructed from beautifully contrasting woods that can independently slide in different directions.  The immensely fun challenge is to figure out how to translate this into a way to open this box.  All original packing material is included.
Karakuri product description:

 

This work was designed as a Christmas present for 2021.

It was designed as a developed version of “Covered Chimney” (RF-16).

An additional gimmick was made, and it became an item that requires two steps of operation.

Kamei’s “Spring Box” (M-35) was one of the sources of the image, and each layer moves in a sway. 

How do you move each layer to open the lid? 

At first, it seemed to be a difficult item to open alone.

But a good method was found during production.

 

Size: 66×66×90 mm

Material: walnut, maple, chanchin, etc.

Condition: Perfect

Meanders Box (172 step version) (2018) - Junichi Yananose (Juno)
The puzzle world eagerly awaits each wondrous creation from Junichi Yananose (Juno).  In 2018 Juno created two “Meanders Box” designs – one with a maximum of 172 steps, the other with a maximum of 348 steps.  This is the 172-step version, which actually can be configured in 4 different ways resulting in puzzles with 130, 134, 161, and 172 steps.  One interesting feature of this puzzle is that the puzzle you’re solving isn’t the one on top, it’s the one inside that you can’t see!...

5 times 5 times 5 (2020) - Hiroshi Iwahara (Karakuri)
N-ary puzzles go back hundreds of years, with parts that move back and forth in highly systematic yet confusing patterns, having solutions that require a number of moves exponential in the number of moving parts. Karakuri craftsman Hiroshi Iwahara is particularly well known for bringing the concept of n-ary puzzles to Japanese puzzle boxes.  5 times 5 times 5 is one of his best, requiring a whopping 125 moves to open and utilizing moves across all 6 faces.  Simply brilliant.  Plus it not onl...
