Handcrafted Karakuri Box "Box Jr." - Kotoya Hasebe (30 Steps)
A Craftsman's Promising Debut
Released in June 2024, the "Box Jr." is the very first creation by artisan Kotoya Hasebe. Entering the intricate world of Japanese Karakuri, Hasebe delivers a high-quality wooden piece that allows collectors to own the foundational work of an emerging talent.
A Playful Mascot Character
Breaking away from traditional rectangular designs, this mechanical box was playfully crafted to resemble a little mascot character, complete with small wooden legs. Constructed from rich, natural walnut wood, it is as much a delightful decorative piece as it is a complex mechanical enigma.
A Deceptive 30-Step Challenge
While its appearance is endearing, unlocking its secrets is a serious endeavor. Hasebe originally planned for an 8-step opening sequence but significantly upgraded the complexity to 30 sequential processes. This debut piece secures your tiny treasures with remarkable ingenuity, hinting at even more difficult challenges from the creator in the future.
