Description

L-Cube, by Hideaki Kawashima

A beautiful box with intricate detailing, created at the legendary Karakuri Creation Group, in Hakone Japan.

The challenge is to open two different compartments, in two different ways. This puzzle features a devilishly clever mechanism that's quite tricky to master!

Here's the original listing of this item: https://karakuri.gr.jp/en/products/kw-47/

From that listing:

This work was produced for an exhibition on the theme of "Ancient Times."

The surface of the work is carved with a pattern inspired by Celtic knots.
The Celtic culture did not have a written language, and the meaning of the Celtic knots are unknown because it was passed down orally...

Now, what do the shapes engraved on this work represent? We invite you to solve it.

Kept in a smoke-free, pet-free home, in a humidity-controlled environment.

Buyer is to pay for shipping, DO NOT PAY until shipping cost has been determined and added to the invoice.
