PRODUCT	ITEM	INFORMATION
Spring Drawers Box	CS-9	Do you know a Karakuri Work, "Spring Box"? We also can sat that it's a developed version of the work. The initial movement is hidden with the appearance just like a packing box. Designer : Yoshiyuki Ninomiya Craftsman : Tatuo Miyamoto Created : 07/2003 Size : 130 x 90 x 75 mm Material : walnut, magnolia, etc. The pattern of the surface is No. 3 only.
Rotation Box	CS-8	There are 2 "Kannuki (bar)" like usual Secret Box. Therefore it's easy to move them. But, the next movement is different from usual ones. You will feel that the plates are a little loose. But, you can't slide them. The name "Rotation Box" is a hint. Designer : Humio Tuburai Craftsman : Tatuo Miyamoto Created : 07/2003 Size : 130 x 90 x 65 mm Material : walnut, magnolia, etc. The pattern of the surface is No. 1 only.
Push Down (12 moves)	CS-7-1	Do you know the "Push Up (4 moves)" by Ninomiya. It's a developed version of the work. The idea of Kamei's "Whiskey Bottle" or "Milk Container" was adopted. Can you imagine the movement only from this explanation? These three boxes are the same in the mechanism. Designer : Hiroshi Iwahara Craftsman : Tatuo Miyamoto Created : 06/2003 Size : 90 x 75 x 65　mm Material : walnut, magnolia, etc. Check the pattern of the surface.

Patterns	CS-6-1	The surface plate looks like "Ran-Yosegi." It has mechanisms inside. It can be opened with 4 steps, and it isn't difficult. The mechanism of the Ohawa type Secret Box was applied. When you opened the mechanisms on surface, the appearance of the lid is interesting. These three boxes are the same in the mechanism. Designer : Hiroyuki Oka Craftsman : Tatuo Miyamoto Created : 06/2003 Size : 120 x 80 x 60 mm Material : walnut, magnolia, etc. Check the pattern of the surface.

the Shrinking Box	CS-5-1	I think the motion of Traditional Secret Box is "to outside". Now, I was aware of a new motion that is "to inside". This box shrinks, or make the size smaller. I think the motion is the first motion for us. In the motion this is the opposite of "M & W". To say about the quantity of the shrink, it was the limit for me this time. If the new idea can be found, the next one which shrinks more and more will be created. These three boxes are the same in the mechanism. Designer : Hiroshi Iwahara Craftsman : Tatuo Miyamoto Created : 05/2003 Size : 120x80x60 mm Material : walnut, magnolia, etc. Check the pattern of the surface.

Popping Up	CS-3-1	This is a new Secret Box that has "Popping Up" mechanism. We can't find the mechanism on traditional Secret Box. It has 5 movements to open, though it's depends on how to count. When you open a plate, you need to pay attention to the direction of the box. And also how to hold the box. When you try to open, the previous plate often closes almost automatically. Previously, Mr. Atsushi Katagiri and Hideto Sato created "Mechanism Box 98" together. This "Popping Up" has almost same mechanism as the work. Only some simple devices were added. These three boxes are the same in the mechanism. Designer : Hideto Satou Craftsman : Tatuo Miyamoto created : 05/2003 size : 140 x 80 x 70 mm material : walnut, magnolia, etc. Check the pattern of the surface.

Type L 1	CS-2-1	This box is the same as the Christmas present for Karakuri Club Members in 2002. In traditional secret boxes, you have to open it by sliding the surface plates in order. But in this box, though the first two steps are the normal sliding, the last step is different from the first two steps. By this unexpected solution, the beginner of trick boxes can open this box easily but the specialists can't. These three boxes are the same in the mechanism. Designer : Akio Kamei Craftsman : Tatuo Miyamoto created : 04/2003 size : 70 x 70 x 70 mm material : walnut, magnolia, etc. Check the pattern of the surface.

Type L 3	CS-2-3
Snail 1	CS-1-1	This is the first work of our Creative Secret Box Series. It's a memorial work for us. To say about traditional Secret Box, the plate moves. But... We also can call it a new type "one Solution Box". Though it has only one movement, it's not easy. When you could open it, you will understand the meaning of the name "Snail"! Designer : Shiro Tajima Craftsman : Tatuo Miyamoto created : 04/2003 size : 125 x 78 x 48 mm material : walnut, magnolia, etc. Check the pattern of the surface.
