The Himitsu-bako Mame: A Tiny Masterpiece of Japanese Ingenuity

Step into the fascinating world of Japanese secret boxes with the Mame model, the smallest ever created in the Hakone region. Its name, which means "bean" in Japanese, perfectly describes its miniature size, yet it conceals an intricate 18-step mechanism.

Handcrafted exclusively in master artisan Hiroyuki Oka's workshop, this secret box is a testament to ancestral craftsmanship. Mr. Oka, with over 30 years of experience, carries on the tradition of Himitsu-zaiku with unparalleled passion and precision. Each box is made entirely by hand, without nails or screws, using only wood. It's one of the most exquisite and authentic pieces of Japanese craftsmanship you can find.

An Elegant Puzzle for Enthusiasts and Novices

Whether you're a seasoned collector of secret boxes or looking for a truly unique gift, the Mame is the perfect choice. Its 18 steps offer an engaging challenge, requiring patience and logic to unlock its secret. It's a fun and intellectual experience unlike any other.

The box's exterior is adorned with a Yosegi-zaiku pattern, a traditional Hakone marquetry where natural wood veneers are assembled to create unique and complex geometric designs. The beauty and intricacy of the pattern make each Himitsu-bako Mame a truly one-of-a-kind object.
