Japanese Puzzle Boxes
The first Japanese Secret Puzzle Boxes were designed over 100 years ago in
the late Edo period by Jinbei Ishikawa (1790-1850). Ishikawa was living at
Hatajuku in the Kakone-cho in the Hakone-Odawara region of Japan. The Hakone
Mountains are noted for their richness and great variety of trees. This
abundance of high quality wood in the region and the expertise of three
generations of master craftsmen have achieved and art form that is revered for
it's detail and ingenuity.
