Description

Karakuri perfection.  The smooth, flowing curves of a trumpet have been masterfully crafted from wood with striking attention to detail.  Its theme is not just decorative but deeply woven into the puzzle’s logic, with a solution that is natural and cohesive.  This beautifully executed masterpiece captures the very spirit of Karakuri craftsmanship: elegant, surprising, and delightfully playful. All original packaging included.

 

Karakuri product description:

 

Trumpet fingering and Karakuri are combined in this item. In the proposal, there was only a trumpet. But a case was added to make a full-scale mechanism. Solve the Karakuri and open the drawer that is in the case. There are only 3 buttons that can be operated. The mechanics of the trumpet that can make all sounds with just those 3 buttons is amazing and is like a puzzle. There is no actual sound. But, try this item as you actually play trumpet on the scale.


This work was produced by Karakuri Creation Group’s craftsmen, from a selected idea of “11th Karakuri Puzzle Idea Contest”.

Original idea by Togo Tsukamoto
Hand-crafted by Hiroshi Iwahara (Karakuri Creation Group)

 

Size: 112×177×146mm

Material: walnut, keyaki (zelkova), maple, stainless steel plate and rod

Condition: Perfect

Red Velvet Cake - Perry McDaniel
It is hard to find sufficient superlatives to describe the confluence of gorgeous craftsmanship and intricate, ingenious puzzling experience found in Perry McDaniel's work.  2024 saw his first new puzzle box creation in quite some time, a new entry in his cake series called Red Velvet Cake.  This is #61 out of only 100 copies made.  Perry's puzzles don't often come to auction, so this is a rare chance to get hold of one of his puzzle creations.  It is beautiful, reflects both puzzling creati...

Loopy L Cube #1 - Junichi Yananose (Juno)
Loopy L Cube #1 is Juno’s first assembly-style puzzle — a fresh venue in which he could showcase his signature ingenuity. Juno designed nine V-shaped pieces, each with a clever combination of tabs and holes, which must interlock to form a seemingly simple 3x3x3 cube. But true to Juno’s trademark style, the solution is surprisingly complex, with many near-miss configurations that tempt but ultimately fail. This now very hard-to-find puzzle, crafted from New Guinea Walnut and Silver Ash, ...

Keyed Up - A 1/1 by Kel Snake (Kelly Snache) [and Oskar van Deventer]
In addition to crafting original puzzle boxes, Kel Snake is especially well-known for his distinctive, highly creative series of "retrofit" puzzle boxes made from vintage wood boxes. Keyed Up is distinctive in being a doubly retrofit puzzle box. First, the box is made from an old cigar box. Second, Kel took a classic Oskar van Deventer keymaze puzzle (one of the big, old ones, in metal) and figured out how to turn it into a locking mechanism for this puzzle box. According to Kel this is the only...
