2 Sun 12 Steps Cube

A Unique Geometric Masterpiece

Breaking away from traditional rectangular designs, this 2 Sun Himitsu-Bako features a striking cubic shape. It is a genuine piece of Japanese artistry, echoing the traditions of the Edo and Meiji eras. Master craftsman Hiroyuki Oka, boasting over 30 years of woodworking expertise, personally builds and thoroughly tests every single box to ensure the eco-friendly wooden mechanisms glide perfectly.

A Symphony of Six Natural Woods

The visual appeal of this cube lies in its materials. The top and bottom panels showcase a beautiful combination of six different kinds of wood: Rengas, Mizuki, Ho, Purple-heart, Urushi, and Nyatoh. All colors are entirely natural with zero artificial dyes. The core structure and side panels are crafted from durable Southeast Asian Agathis wood, creating a warm, elegant aesthetic.

A Rewarding 12-Step Challenge

This cubic puzzle box houses a cleverly concealed locking mechanism utilizing 3 moving panels and 2 sliding keys. It requires a precise sequence of 12 steps to unlock, offering a highly satisfying challenge that ultimately reveals a hidden central storage space.
