Karakuri Creation Group

While Hakone was prospering as a tourist resort with hot springs, many kinds of souvenirs were created. As a result, high techniques and ideas have been designed by many craftsmen who were independent each other. Especially wooden interlocking puzzles and traditional secret boxes which included a puzzle element, were supported by the public. There is no place in the world like Hakone as a puzzle-producing district.
Karakuri Creation Group is a group of craftsmen who are creating more interesting and high quality "Trick" things by developing these traditional techniques and historical property. We can create new products with your help. Please let us know your good suggestions.
