Hexagon Yosegi and Ichimatsu by Hiroyuki Oka

The Geometry of Secrecy: A Masterpiece in Six Sides

The Allure of Hexagonal Geometry

Departing from traditional rectangular forms, this secret box features a rare hexagonal silhouette. It is adorned with the classic Yosegi-Zaiku and Ichimatsu (checkerboard) marquetry, crafted entirely from eco-friendly, natural woods. The subtle, inherent variations in the wood grain ensure that no two pieces are exactly alike.

A Mystery Unfolding in Six Acts

Tracing its origins back to the Edo and Meiji eras of the 1800s, this enigma demands deliberate, mindful interaction. The mechanism relies on sliding 5 hidden panels across 6 precise, sequential steps without the use of a key, offering a deeply rewarding tactile challenge.
