Description

This puzzle box by Hiroshi Iwahara represents the classic Japanese joinery technique in the form of a puzzle box. The solution is really interesting and fun.

Here is the description in the words of Hiroshi Iwahara:

This work was produced for an exhibition on the theme of "Ancient Times."
Kanawa-Tsugi, Okkake-Daisen-Tsugi, Kainokuchi-Tsugi...
Wooden joints of traditional architecture is really fascinating.
“I wish I could make a new item from such joints”
This item was designed based on some joints.
There are two spaces inside.
A hollow chisel mortiser was used to make this because the motif was joint.
But machines are usually used for architecture or furniture.
So this was extraordinarily difficult to make this smaller item with the chisel.
The Yosegi of “Syachi-Sen” part was made by the late Yoshiyuki Ninomiya.

Buyer to pay shipping fees calculated after the auction. Can combine multiple winnings.
