The third box of Hiroshi Iwahara's Byway Secret series, possibly his best and last. Iwahara also calls it the "Wrong side secret" box. The outside is undecorated--on purpose--and is a clue to opening the box.
There box has 2 compartments. Opening the first is straightforward, but 21 moves are required to open the second compartment. The box is a very clever twist on the traditional Japanese puzzle box.
The box is beautiful and extrarordinarily well crafted. It has been been out of production for several years and is currently unavailable for retail sale. This box is in mint, all original, like new condition with original box and printed solution.
