This hand crafted wooden inlaid japanese puzzle box was made afew years ago. It is medium-small sized (4 sun), so about 5 inches long on the longest side, and takes over 20 steps to open. It is in good working condition, and is like-new! They inlaid this beautiful dragon design with what looks like mother-of-pearl! Very unique for a japanese puzzle box, which is traditionally inlaid wood only. BEST of all, it is no longer made so this is one of your only opportunities to get this sold-out box! This box orginally retailed for more than double what I am asking! I am acollector of puzzles of all types, especially puzzle boxes, and have read articles and books aboutthem, as well as discussed them with several of the foremost experts about their history. You can trust that I will always be HONEST about their condition, rarity, and age (unlike some sellers on ebay who call new common retail puzzles "rare"!) These hand-crafted puzzle boxes are a great gift, and add a new dimension to any art, japanese craft, or puzzle collection.Good luck bidding.
