This is a “New
Move” puzzle box made by Homna-san. While it only takes 2 moves to open it, it’s
tricky in that it does not work like most other traditional Japanese Puzzle Boxes.
It’s well made and has a nice finish.
And it’s a “Muku”
box - meaning that the colorful striped pattern is not a yosegi or zougan overlay -
it’s made of solid wood all the way through. To see this box opened, click here - then use your browser’s
