Capture the essence of Japanese craftsmanship with this magnificent secret box by Yamanaka. "Sunrise over Mount Fuji" is more than a puzzle; it's a true postcard crafted from precious wood. It challenges you to uncover its 12-move combination to reveal its secret, while also hiding an extra surprise for the most observant.
This exceptional piece pays homage to the beauty of Japan through two iconic scenes created with Zougan marquetry. The front depicts a majestic view of Mount Fuji bathed in the light of a rising sun—a powerful and serene image. On the back, the delicacy of blooming cherry tree flowers (sakura) offers a spectacle of finesse. It's an invitation to contemplation, where every detail of the wood grain tells a story.
The first challenge is to unlock the 12-step mechanism that secures the main lid. Each move must be performed in the correct order, a logical sequence that requires patience and reflection. But the reward is twofold: once the box is open, a final trick awaits. A secret compartment, concealed on the back of the lid, is specially designed to hide a coin or a small treasure.
