The Right
and Left Box is the name of this Japanese Puzzle Box. It gets the name from its 5 moves
that first work on the right lid piece, and then the left one.
The classic
Koyosegi adorns the two lid pieces, making for a nice contrast to the rest of the darker
colored wooden exterior.
The interior of this box is quite large and
features a lovely image of tiny white flowers against a yellow back drop (see picture to
right). With only two moves required to get the Right lid off it's easy to get in and out
of too - great for storage.
At over 7" long it's one of the largest JPBs Cleverwood carries.
The two sliding panels and two sliding lid
pieces that make up the puzzle mechanism work very smoothly. Both lid pieces are
completely removable. The finish is also very nice and light. It lets the quality of the
wood shine through.
“A mechanical puzzle is a self-contained object, composed
of one or more parts, which involves a problem for one person to solve by manipulation
using logic, reasoning, insight, luck, and/or dexterity.” - Jerry Slocum
