    Each puzzle box is slightly different. You may receive a box which has a slightly different pattern from the picture because each puzzle box is unique handmade by Japanese masters.
    These boxes have no apparent method or place of opening.  However, if you look carefully, you may find panels or surfaces which will slide.  Each style of box has a specific number of steps, which must be performed in proper sequence, in order to open it.  (Directions for solving the puzzle are included with each box.)
