Shachihoko Secret Box
- Description

- FAQ
Shachihoko is a mythical creature with the head of a dragon and the body of a fish. According to legend, when a building catches fire, Shachihoko sprays water to extinguish the flames. Because of this, it’s often placed on rooftops as a guardian to ward off fires.
One of Shachihoko’s most recognizable features is its raised, curled tail. But whenever I see it holding that stiff pose, I can’t help but think, it must be tiring to stay like that forever. I imagine it saying, “I’m so tired… I just want to stretch and rest.”
This playful idea inspired craftsman Daiki Arimura to create this piece. With it, he invites us to loosen up Shachihoko’s body and finally let it rest.
Materials: keyaki (zelkova), maple, wendge, magnolia, cherry
Dimensions: 156 × 78.5 × 147.5 mm (external); 19 × 30.5 × 22.5 mm (internal)
What is a secret box?
A secret box is a type of box that is designed to be opened only by solving a specific sequence of movements or manipulations. These boxes are often made of wood and have a hidden compartment or mechanism that can only be accessed by correctly opening the box.
What is the difference between a secret box and puzzle box?
Unlike puzzle boxes, which are typically solved through a logical sequence of steps, a secret box may or may not have a logical solution to open it. Additionally, while puzzle boxes often require a series of intricate and time-consuming steps to solve, a secret box can sometimes be opened with just one or a few simple movements.
One of the most defining features of secret boxes is their hidden seams or mechanisms that allow the box to be opened. These mechanisms can be quite intricate, making the opening of the box an interesting and rewarding experience. Secret boxes come in a wide variety of designs, ranging from simple boxes with a hidden compartment to elaborate creations with intricate internal mechanisms.
