"Gentleman Crocodile" is, by far, the cutest Karakuri box I have seen! It is crafted by the very popular Yoh Kakuda of the Karakuri Creation Group. It was designed by Kakuda for his 2015 Karakuri Christmas gift, and then redesigned for a slightly larger size in 2022. The box is made from 4 woods: magnolia, walnut, chanchin, and keyaki. "Gentleman Crocodile" becomes even cuter as one finds the solution! The solver will understand why Kakuda said of his puzzle, "The crocodile is a gentleman. His favorite word is 'coexistence'."
Naturally, the box is precisely
made, and my copy is in mint condition and in its original
box with original packaging and solution enclosed.
I can ship within the US as a ground advantage (first class) package for around $7.00 (depending on postal code), or at insured
priority mail pricing for between $10.00 and $15.00 (depending on postal
code) if preferred. I am happy to ship
internationally at cost (typically around $30, depending on
country), but I cannot always guarantee that overseas
packages can be insured. Please do not send payment until the postage cost
is determined. Note, sadly, that tariff wars may be in effect for packages received in certain countries.
Please let me know if you have any questions regarding my copy of Gentleman Crocodile.
Thank you for viewing my auction!
