I was surprised to receive this cool little box from Discord Admin Mike, thank you!
Obviously as the name suggests everything can be seen but it did take me a little finagling to find the right orientation and order of assembly. These are apparently available at the Torito puzzle shop in Japan in four other colours (Red/Blue/Orange/Purple) as well, if you get a chance to acquire one or all I highly recommend them.
Here’s Torito’s description:
“A series of transparent secret boxes made by assembling acrylic pieces. The structure is a visible "secret box without secrets", but it is not always possible to open it immediately.
Once opened, disassemble everything next. And let's assemble it again.”
Jerry has written a nice blog review about the Red Version.
If you’ve ever wondered how they came up with their puzzle shop name Torito here’s the explanation:
By the way, what is the store name "Torito"?
“We got the name from "Torito de Pukara", a pottery cow amulet that can be placed on the roof in Peru, South America. It is also used in the name of the American South American restaurant "El Torito" (there is a branch office in Japan, but it has nothing to do with our restaurant).
The Torito in the photo is 5.5 cm high. It's like decorating a house.
* This is a gift from puzzle collector Naoaki Takashima. Thank you.”
