The
“Sun” Size System
“Sun” is a traditional Japanese unit of measure to denote length.
1 Sun is about 30.3 mm or about 1.22 inches. This system is used to describe the
approximate size of Japanese Puzzle Boxes. Note that the sun system does not describe the
width or height, or the size of the inside compartment. These dimensions are given on the
web page for each box.

Guaranteed Quality
Each and every Japanese Puzzle Box we sell here at Cleverwood is personally inspected and tested.
We carefully examine the outside of the box using a magnifying glass and a strong
light. If the yosegi is chipped, if there is “tear-out” or uneven lacquer or a
host of other flaws, the box is rejected.
Then we open the box and check it for proper operation - smooth moves, not too tight,
not too loose, not warped. We count the number of moves. We examine the inside for cracks,
glue squeeze out, and other flaws. We make sure that boxes that are supposed to be signed
are signed.
If all is well a Cleverwood personal
inspection tag is put in the box before it is closed and put back in its original
wrapping.
