Difference in the Shades

Trick Box Man

This guy is one of a small group of people in Hakone who make the most amazingly decorated wooden products. He gave an entertaining demo of the techniques they use and of some of their famous 'trick boxes' - boxes that are designed to be tricky to get into, thanks to a complex series of moves you need to complete to open them.

I bought a puzzle box and was very proud at how quickly I could dismantle it. When I tried to put it back together again, I realised what the puzzle really was... luckily my tour guide came to the rescue!
