Early 20th Century. Dimensions: OH: 1-1/2”, OL: 5-3/8”, OD: 3-1/2”. Description: Fabulous Japanese puzzle box. The exterior is scenic in the aesthetic style with finely detailed marquetry including a framed reserve with a scene of Mt. Fuji, lake, boater and landscape with house; the reserve surrounded with flowers and foliage at the four corners. The exterior sides of the box are checkerboard marquetry inlay all around. The bottom of the box has four small circular holes to aid in removal of the interior pieces. The interior is divided into five sections forming a marquetry inlay of bamboo and leaves.

One box has: 1) a charm of a goat, 2) a charm of an elephant, 3) a charm of a hand carved and polychrome detailed Sake bottle, 4) a charm of a hand detailed and polychromed, carved water buffalo bone geisha figure form box (the lid swivels to reveal a miniature, removable, hand carved pair of water buffalo bone dice), 5) a miniature hand blown glass sea gull (damage to his tail and one wing…but his beak is intact). One box contains: 1) a charm of a miniature, working, two bladed pocket knife, 2) a charm of a hand carved wood police club, 3) a working pair of scissors, 4) working miniature pencil, 5) a metal charm of a miniature tea kettle with working handle, 5) a charm of a hand detailed and polychromed, carved water buffalo bone umbrella/parasol form box (the handle unscrews to reveal a miniature, removable, hand carved pair of water buffalo bone dice), 6) a charm of a hand detailed and polychromed, hand carved water buffalo bone man, 7) a charm of a hand detailed and polychromed, hand carved water buffalo bone woman.
