In the maker's words

Vintage 5 Sun 35 + Step Sansui Zougan Japanese Puzzle Box Requires over 35 steps to reveal the hidden space. Vintage boxes over 14 steps or so are EXTREMELY difficult to find. This piece is quite complex to open and is a very nice addition to collectors familiar with the opening mechanisms of Japanese Puzzle Boxes. Sides have a traditional Ichimatsu inlay with floral design on the reverse of the box. Lighter wear is evident and slight curving on the lid and rear panel. Please view the pictures carefully. No directions are available but opening sequence is somewhat similar to 6 Sun 54 step boxes and is a complex puzzle and not for the faint of heart! Measures * 5.9 x 4.0 x 2.75 inches
