Because of the hand-made nature of the box, the picture or pattern may have slight variations.
This is a well made wooden puzzle box that doubles as a money (coin) box. There is a hidden entrance that has a slot which allows small coins to enter. The box itself requires 9 steps to open the main compartment.
Japanese puzzle boxes are handmade with superb quality. They combine amazing artistry and design with the challenge of puzzle. There is only one combination to open each box. Sides of the box move or slide to allow other pieces to move as well. These actions, performed in the right combination will open the lid. These beautiful boxes are perfect for gifts or wonderful as a conversation piece or keepsake.
The "sun" in the name is a Japanese form of measurement. Each "sun" is approximately 3 centimetres in box length. The more steps in the name - the harder it is to open the box. The final part of the title refers to the pattern shown on the box, which in this case is called Kirichigae.
