Inspired by a planet encircled by a ring, this ingenious Karakuri puzzle box challenges both curiosity and patience. At first, the ring obstructs the lid, preventing it from openingbut no force is required to remove it. The solution lies in clever observation and delicate movement rather than strength.

Originally crafted in 2017, the internal mechanism has since been strengthened for smoother performance and lasting durability. The display stand, now finished in natural beeswax, has been reshaped to better complement the boxs celestial design.

The ring itself is a work of precision: six pieces seamlessly joined from a single board to highlight the natural grain in orbit-like harmony. Viewed directly from the side, the craftsmanship reveals its quiet elegancea nod to Saturn, whose rings will nearly vanish from sight on March 23, 2025, due to the planets tilt and Earths position. A perfect hiding place for a small treasureor perhaps a finger ring.
