The first box in the Karakuri Creation Group's "Creative Secret Box Series" of 2003. Designed by Shiro Tajima & crafted by Tatuo Miyamoto. Box is in excellent, original unused mint condition. Includes original box and solution card.
This is a unique 1 move box with 1 secret compartment. It features a very unusual mechanism. Three versions of the box were made, all the same except for their slightly different exterior decoration patterns. This version is CS-1-1. The description from the Karakuri Creation Group Website is as follows:
This is the first work of our Creative Secret Box Series.
It's a memorial work for us.
To say about traditional Secret Box, the plate moves.
But...
We also can call it a new type "one Solution Box".
Though it has only one movement, it's not easy.
When you could open it,
you will understand the meaning of the name "Snail"!
