Let's Get Dressed

A Gift That Keeps on Changing

This delightful work, "Let's Get Dressed" was designed by Shou Sugimoto as the official Christmas Present for 2024. Available now in excellent pre-owned condition, this box captures the excitement of receiving a gift. Topped with a charming wooden ribbon, it invites you to interact with it immediately.

The Meaning Behind the Name

At first glance, it appears to be a solid wooden cube. However, the title is a direct hint to the solution. This Karakuri box features a dynamic mechanism where the exterior appearance changes. The striped panels—crafted from Maple, Chanchin, and Walnut—move like layers of clothing. Solving the puzzle requires you to understand how the box wants to be "dressed."

Playful Craftsmanship

Sugimoto is known for puzzles that bring a smile to your face. The tactile sensation of sliding the wooden "clothes" and the visual transformation from plain wood to a colorful, striped pattern make this a standout piece for any collection.
