Radix

DESIGNER: Akio Yamamoto MATERIAL: Cast Metal DIFFICULTY LEVEL: 4 (Challenging) The Radix is a puzzle known for both its monumental looks and somewhat organic styling and movement. The entire unit gives off an air of antique wisdom, the pieces joined at the base in chaotic harmony. The name comes from the mathematical term, “radical axis,” and also means “root” in Latin. The innovative concept that it is, you might even be tempted to call it “radical.” Whatever you call it, have fun! Hanayama started in the mid-1930s as a manufacturer and retailer of traditional games, indoor pursuits, and other toys, and from the very beginning has placed a great emphasis on creative ideas and good quality. More than eighty years later, Hanayama continues to make cast puzzles that are guaranteed to be fun and interesting amusements for people of all ages.
