Mr Puzzle - We've got puzzles! Price: Not very big but a challenging 7 moves to open. To open a Japanese puzzle box one or more sliding pieces hidden within the patterns on the box must be moved. Traditional Japanese secret opening boxes were first made in the Hakone region from about 1890's by master woodworker Ryugoro Okawa and are decorated with a veneer called yosegi zaiku marquetry. This very precise process starts with gluing different coloured woods together to form the desired pattern. Then very thin sheets called zuku are shaved with a special plane and glued on to the puzzle. Because each puzzle box is handmade in Japan the pattern on each one will be very similar but may vary slightly from the photo shown here. Size: 2 Sun (a traditional unit of measure to denote length)
