Himitsu Bako 2 | 34 STEP Japanese Puzzlebox

Himitsu Bako 2 – The Box of 34 Secrets

Dare to unlock the sequel to the legendary Himitsu Bako (my 17 step Japanese Puzzlebox). 

Hidden within lies a mystery that demands patience, skill, and a sharp eye. With 34 precise steps and secret moves, every sliding panel and concealed mechanism brings you closer to the final reveal.

Adorned with intricate Japanese Kumiko inlays and crowned with the timeless Shippo-Tsunagi “Seven Treasures” pattern, this puzzle box is as much a work of art as it is a challenge.

On the lid, a warning awaits: “Only the worthy have access to the treasures within.”

Are you worthy?

Attention:
This model contains moving parts and relies on tight tolerances. It is strongly recommended to print using a relatively new or well-maintained nozzle. Worn or heavily used nozzles may result in inaccurate prints, which can cause parts to fuse together or fail to meet the required tolerances. This may prevent components from moving correctly or cause them to become stuck.
