In the maker's words

The Balance Scale Karakuri Japanese Puzzle Box crafted by Tatsuo Miyamoto was offered in a lottery to Karakuri members in February 2022 and sold out immediately after release. The crafter describes his work in the following manner, " This work was designed for an exhibition with the theme, “Karakuri Experiments”. It was challenging to create it. Last year, I bought a set of balance scales at an antique store. It fit the theme of experimentation, so I took a chance and made it into a Karakuri work piece. It was a challenge to create a retro atmosphere." Measures 145 x 100 x 68 mm and a storage space of 88 x 47 x 15 mm. Woods used are Cherry, Walnut and Agathis woods. Comes in Gift Box and Solution!
