Work kit DICE	AW-1	This kit was originally developed for the "International Puzzle Meeting" in Hakone in 2010. This has almost the exact same device as P-9-4, so you will be able to understand it by making it. Craftsman : Karakuri Creation Group Created : 07/2010 Size : 80×80×80 mm Material : walnut, etc.
Work kit New Secret BoxⅡ	AW-2	It was a work kit developed for our first annual "Karakuri Puzzle in Hakone" in 2011. It has the same device as NS-2. It will open in 12 moves. I’ve used the same marquetry board that’s on the outside of the work as the body structure. You can understand the structure and the device by making it. Craftsman : Karakuri Creation Group Created : 07/2011 Size : 80×80×80 mm Material : magnolia, walnut, etc.
Work kit Little tree	AW-3	It was a work kit developed for the first annual "Karakuri Puzzle in Hakone” in 2011. It has the same device as CH-4-2.

Work kit 5-MOVE SECRET BOX	AW-4	It was a work kit developed for our second annual "Karakuri Puzzle in Hakone" in 2012. It is a traditional five-move secret box. We were going to make a four-move secret box at first, but we wanted more participants to understand the secret box. Therefore we added the device called "the bolt" (bolt). Craftsman : Karakuri Creation Group Created : 07/2012 Size : 100×70×53 mm Material : agathis, yosegi
Work kit INU KUWAE	AW-5	This work kit was developed for our third annual "Karakuri Puzzle in Hakone" in 2013. "Inu Kuwae" was an extremely popular souvenir from Hakone, so we decided to design it into a workable kit. In the original souvenir, a cigarette rolls out and is caught in the dogs mouth when the drawer is pulled out. However, in this work a toothpick appears, not a cigarette. An interview with the designing craftsman is also included. Craftsman : Karakuri Creation Group Created : 06/2013 Size : 84×110×79 mm Material : katsura
Work kit Sofa	AW-6	This work kit was developed for the 4th annual "Karakuri Puzzle in Hakone" in 2014. We designed this in keeping with the theme of furniture. The same mechanism and device used in the life-size version of karakuri sofa was also used in this sofa. The method to opening this is simple, but the structure is quite complicated. Craftsman : Karakuri Creation Group Created : 09/2014 Size : 120×55×83 mm Material : walnut, magnolia
Work kit Fukiage (Blow Up)	AW-7	This work kit was developed for the 5th annual "Karakuri Puzzle in Hakone" in 2015. It is formerly a traditional work of the Hakone / Odawara district. It is a cigarette trick. You put the cigarettes inside beforehand. When you lift the inner box up, then down, one cigarette pops up. However, the real cigarette has been substituted with a twig. That is the trick – it blows up (in your face). Craftsman : Karakuri Creation Group Created : 07/2015 Size : 124×93×72 mm Material : amur corktree, mizuki (dogwood)
Work kit Itokomabako	AW-8	This work kit was developed for the 6th annual "Karakuri Puzzle in Hakone" in 2016. "Itokomabako" was made in Hakone during the Edo period and used by Shamisen players as a box to put strings and bridges in. We do not know many things about it, so it is a mysterious box. There are two drawers. When you open the one drawer, the other drawer opens at the same time. When you close the inner drawer, the other drawer closes at the same time. Craftsman : Karakuri Creation Group Created : 07/2016 Size : 84×126×36 mm Material : amur corktree, bamboo, string
Work kit Osaru no Kagoya	AW-9	This work kit was developed for the 7th annual "Karakuri Puzzle in Hakone" in 2017. You can open the lid when “Osaru(monkey)” brought “Kago(palanquin)”from Odawara Castle to Hakone Check Point well. The brand of top plate was designed with the image of a journey to Hakone. Craftsman : Karakuri Creation Group Created : 09/2017 Size : 85×114×48 mm Material : american black cherry, etc.
Work kit Spinning Secret Box	AW-10	This work kit was developed for the 8th annual "Karakuri Puzzle in Hakone" in 2018. While continuing with the traditional secret box outline, the trick is new. It is the union of secret box and Karakuri box. Yosegi on top plate is made by Yoshiyuki Ninomiya. Craftsman : Karakuri Creation Group Created : 09/2018 Size : 113×85×53 mm Material : magnolia, etc.
