Description
Hiroshi Iwahara produced a series of 6 cube-shaped "Link Type Box" puzzles, each featuring intricate movements that interconnect across multiple faces of the cube.  This one is called Silver with a Dummy.  As is expected from this long-time Karakuri member, this puzzle box is elegant in form, precise in construction, and complex in its motions.

Karakuri product description: 

Confetto Box (RF-39) was developed systematically. A different maze was made on the same structure. The top links with the 4 sides. The bottom is the lid. The 4 side plates work with each other. The movement is only opening and closing, with no relation between the opposite sides, and only the top and sides link. In order to achieve these movements, I arrived at these designs.

This is the only design that has a dummy movement among this series. TheDummy was made unavoidably due to structural reasons, but, it plays a big role later. This design may have the second highest number of steps. The total number of steps is 25, and extracted number of side movements is 10. This is a kind of “Turning Type” and takes 3 turns to solve.

Size: 82×82×82mm (Except Yosegi)
