Japanese Trick Chests

Our family at www.PuzzleBoxWorld.Com have been intrigued by the ingenious opening mechanisms of the Japanese Trick Chest.

Beside their obvious beauty, these artistic pieces have an important functionality of keeping your valuables safe. Various Secret Trick chests may have secret drawers, false bottoms or facings and drawers that must be opened in sequence to find hidden spaces.
