UK BASED SELLER OFFERS FOR AUCTION A ..
Fine Yosegi Japanese HARD TO FIND 21 MOVE puzzle box from Japan.
21 MOVE, 4 SUN
This is truly "a one off" item, no 2 boxes are identical.
This is a brand new japanese puzzle box.
As with all japanese puzzle boxes it has secret sliding pieces hidden
in the design.
The design is called Yosegi (or Koyosegi), meaning "random pattern."
A person who has never opened one of these boxes, it can be difficult
to know where to begin without instructions!
Puzzle boxes make unique gifts for friends or loved ones, and if you
wish to purchase a box for yourself, it can be supplied with
instructions to open it, or WITHOUT instructions just in case you
think you would like to face a challenge. but we can email you the
instructions at a later date (within 1 month) if it gets the better of
you.
The condition of this box is NEW.
Hakone-Yosegi-Zaiku marquetry is a woodcraft that uses abundant
natural materials that are available in Japan, it originated in the
middle of the 19th century, in the late Edo period. None of the wood
used in Hakone-Yosegi-Zaiku marquetry is artificially colored in any
way and each work is created to take advantage of the natural colors
of the various trees that grow around Hakone.
Different colored thin pieces of wood are squeezed in a vise to create
geometric patterns. The pattern of this cross-section is planed to
make one unit or sheet with a geometric pattern that is 1/100 cm (0.04
in.) thick. These paper-thin sheets are then glued on decorative boxes
and other items.
The Himitsu-Bako (Personal Secret Box) is a traditional Japanese
puzzlebox that was designed over 100 years ago in Japan.
The Personal Secret Box takes advantage of this wide variety of
natural wood colors and textures to produce their elaborate geometric
patterns. The appeal of the Personal Secret Box is not merely in its
entertainment qualities.
It is adorned with Yosegi-Zaiku and/or Moku-Zougan. The Yosegi-Zaiku
is a mosaic woodwork usually applied to small handicrafts such as
trays, boxes, and chests.
This marquetry technique originated in the late Edo Period, and in May
of 1984 was designated a National Traditional Handicraft by the
International Trade & Industry Minister.
In Japan, there are about 100 people who are working in the field of
Traditional Wooden products. Of these 100 people, only about 30
craftsmen produce Yosegi-Zaiku and about four craftsmen produce
Moku-zougan. The Himitsu-Bako is produced by only 9 traditional
craftsmen. These craftsmen do not make the Yosegi-Zaiku, which adorns
their Secret Puzzle boxes. The Himitsu-Bako craftsmen produce their
secret puzzle box virtually alone from start to finish. They each pick
the wood they will use and then allow it to dry for a period of time.
Next, they cut and assemble wood pieces to form the puzzle box.
Finally, they apply the Yosegi-Zaiku to the outside of the box with
the proper finishing technique.
The art of making Himitsu-Bako has never been written down as a
pattern or a simple written explanation. Instead it has been passed on
from master Craftsman to apprentice for three generations. Mr. Ohkawa
passed on his knowledge to Mr. Ninomiya (who is retired and in his
80's). Mr. Ninomiya passed on his knowledge to Mr. Kamei and Mr.
Kikuchi. Mr. Kikuchi is currently retired and Mr. Kamei presently
makes his own unique form of puzzle boxes recognized throughout the
world. Mr. Kikukawa passed on his knowledge to Mr. Suzuki and Mr.
Yoshzawa. Mr. Yoshzawa passed on his knowledge to Mr. Kanbara who is
currently making himitsu-bako. Mr. Suzuki and Mr. Yoshzawa have since
passed away.
Mr. Tatsunosuke Okiyama passed on his expertise to his son Mr.
Yoshitaro Okiyama who passed on his expertise to his son Mr. Yoshio
Okiyama. Mr. Yoshio Okiyama is currently 75 years old and has no
apprentice. In May 1984, Hakone Himitsu-Bako and Yosegi-Zaiku were
designated a National Traditional Handicraft by the International
Trade & Industry Minister of Japan. In the Hakone area of Japan, there
are about 100 people who are working in the field of Traditional
Wooden Products. Of these 100 people, only about 30 craftsmen produce
Yosegi-Zaiku. Yosegi-Zaiku is the mosaic patterns seen on the many
different traditional wood products produced in the Hakone area.
The Himitsu-Bako is produced by only 9 traditional craftsmen. These
craftsmen do not make the Yosegi-Zaiku, which adorns their secret
puzzle boxes. The Himitsu-Bako craftsment produce their secret puzzle
box virtually alone from start to finish. They each pick the wood they
will use and then allow it to dry for a period of time. Next, they cut
and assemble wood pieces to form the puzzle box. Finally, they apply
the Yosegi-Zaiku to the outside of the box with the proper finishing
technique. The youngest of the Himitsu-Bako Master craftsmen is about
60 years old. Currently, there are about three apprentices actively
learning this art.
