Notch Stripe is the name of the yosegi pattern
adorning this 5 sun Japanese Puzzle box. It features alternating stripes of different
color wooden inlay (see close up picture to right). It is of good
quality with a light finish that really lets the wood come through.
The
three sliding panels and two sliding keys that make up the puzzle mechanism work very
smoothly. One unusual move is used in it's opening, but it is otherwise like a standard 9
move box.
A color opening instruction diagram and high quality pressboard gift box are
included.
“A mechanical puzzle is a self-contained object, composed
of one or more parts, which involves a problem for one person to solve by manipulation
using logic, reasoning, insight, luck, and/or dexterity.” - Jerry Slocum
