"Very small Japanese puzzle box. This is the smallest puzzle box in Hakone, Japan. This puzzle box is opened in 14 steps (little by little in the correct order). D "Mame" means "beans" in Japanese, so it means "This puzzle box is small, just like a bean". The design is Yosegi-zaiku in Hakone, the pattern differs from box to box. This small puzzle box is made exclusively by Hiroyuki Oka.
"The Japanese puzzle box (Himitsu-bako) is made exclusively of wood, eco-friendly products. This is one of Japan's traditional works of art. Its origin even dates back to the Edo and Meiji era (1800) in Japan. It has been handed down by a very small number of craftsmen. I make these puzzle boxes myself full-time. I trained for 10 years and have been making these Japanese puzzle boxes and Yosegi-zaiku for over 20 years. All items are made in my workshop, and I promise that all boxes are of good quality. My puzzle boxes will move smoothly because I will check and test all puzzle boxes before shipping them. If you have any question, please feel free to ask me anything. Thank you!!! Hiroyuki Oka"
