Himitsu Bako Puzzle Box, Square
Hidden within the intricate geometric patterns of Yosegi-zaiku lies a 200-year-old Japanese secret. These Himitsu-Bako puzzle boxes were brought to life using only sustainable, natural woods* and the steady hands of twenty years of experience. Each box was individually crafted, ensuring every sliding panel moves with a silent, buttery precision. *The traditional yosegi pattern is different for each box, so it may not be exactly the same as in the photo. The traditional yosegi is used only for the top panel. The bottom panels have three types of natural wood designs. The side panels are made with checkered yosegi.
