In the maker's words

Secret Box with a Tree and a Star was distributed to selected Karakuri members as a Christmas Gift in 2024. The crafter describes his work as " This work was designed as a Christmas present for 2024. This work is an application of a device that continues from “Box with a Tree.” The storage is divided into front and back sections, and the back is the goal. If you know my previous works, you will probably be able to open half of the storage space easily. But since this is an application, you will need to make further adjustments in order to open the back. After the completion of the work, my friends asked me; “Did you think of Germany?" No, it was just a coincidence. But I heard that Christmas in Germany is very festive. I would like to experience it at least once. " The exterior of the puzzle measures approximately 63 x 63 x 51 mm. with internal spaces of 31 ×28×15mm and 38 x 18 x 15 mm. Crafted in Magnolia, Wendge, Walnut, Keyaki (Zelkova) and Padoauk. Will arrive in gift box and opening diagram.
