    A pretty cube box...but not only that!
    By lippatrice
    This beautiful cube-shaped Himitsu Bako, with its double contrast of different wood colors and a larger band of nyatoh, makes it a visually pleasing box, as well as a pleasant one to hold.
    The movements are fluid and precise as always. It also conceals a "slight" difference from other Himitsu Bako, as the craftsman says!
    A slight, but very disturbing difference! The visual trap is disconcerting, and you have to think differently from other Himitsu Bako. A nice surprise! Thank you also for the daily blog, which is very rich in information on manufacturing and the many parameters for making a Himitsu Bako and other things. I always look forward to the new designs and the differences, as well as the manufacturing steps shown in the blog. See you soon, Hiroyuki.😊
