GOMBO (2020) - Yoh Kakuda (Karakuri)

Yoh Kakuda excels at creating whimsical animal-themed puzzles, and GOMBO is one of Kakuda’s best.  GOMBO depicts a playful, crouching cat.  Can you play with the cat and get it to give up its secret compartment?  The puzzle looks great on a shelf – it is huge, beautiful, and simply fun to see and play with.  The solution is absolutely delightful.  All original packing material is included.

Karakuri product description:

When a cat wakes from sleep, it stretches itself at first.
This is comfortable for the cat and it seems to stretch forever, but I feel uneasy.
This work was made with this image.

The title "GOMBO" is a dialect in some parts of the Tohoku region.
The short tail cat is called "gombo tail", so I chose this cat's name.

This is the first remake in 10 years.
There is more attention to detail, and the strength of the device has increased.
The paws are self-made stamps.
