Charming Japanese yosegi-style wooden puzzle house box - safe or bank, made in Japan, with detailed parquetry and marquetry-style decoration. The miniature cottage form features patterned woodwork, painted doors and windows, a shingled-style roof, front steps, and warm hand-colored details throughout.

The box is in excellent condition, with all parts working smoothly. It is shown partially opened, but not fully revealed in the photos so the puzzle mechanism remains a surprise for the next owner. Instructions are located inside the box and can also be provided upon request.

A delightful Japanese folk craft collectible — part trinket box, part puzzle box, and part miniature architectural display.
