The art continues in the Hakone district even today.
WENDY is a 3 to 1 scale model of a Kangaroo with Joey made in the area just after WWII but in true Mr Puzzle style there is a secret to getting the first piece out. After you’ve released the lock the first piece will slide out effortlessly.
Clue: What do kangaroo’s normally do? (The answer is NOT eat – so the first piece is NOT the head)
