5 Sun 10 Steps Star- Japanese Puzzle Box

Japanese Puzzle Boxes are handmade and each box is a Masterpiece! Work-of-Art!

This box has the "Star" pattern and 10 steps (moves) you will need to execute to achieve the right combination that opens this amazing puzzle box.

In order to open a Japanese Puzzle Box, you need to find the first piece (part of the box) you can move (by "move" we mean actually "slide"). This action causes other piece of the puzzle to "unlock" and allows you to move it too now. This is kind of a "chain reaction" where each piece you move partially unlocks other piece allowing it to be moved as well, and so on and so forth, so basically each move you execute allows you to execute your next move.

When the right movement combination is achieved, the box will open (meaning you are able to slide the top panel and open the box).
