The Detour Puzzle Boxwas developed as a Christmas present for Karakuri Members in 2024.
The crafter describes this work by stating the following: "The drawer opens a little bit, but it won't open fully. Can you guess how to open it?
As the name suggests, it will open by taking a detour.
I also took a detour to make this box: I revised the drawing and had to make many prototypes. Just like the solution to open it, it may not be such a bad idea to take a detour in your life."
Crafted of Maple, Walnut and Magnolia.
Exterior measures 83 x 64 x 50 mm. with secret spaces measuring 20 x 19 x 14 mm.
Comes in Gift Box and Opening Diagram!
