This work was designed for Karakuri Puzzle Party in Hakone 2018.
I made two drawer boxes while referring to the mechanism of "Book"(P-6-1, 1983). The mechanism of "Book" is based on "cigarette magic"originally made in the Hakone district. Therefore, this "Drawing in adifferent direction" is developed from that. The wood inlay of"Bellflower" is one hint to opening it.
