Karakuri Alchemist
$505.72
Description
This work was created for an exhibition on the theme of “Karakuri Experiments”. There is a round flask on the top of a decently sized box, and eight different symbols on each side of the pedestal. It’s a recipe of alchemy. After you solve the mystery of the eight symbols, the drawer will open.
You have to follow the creator’s intended procedure accurately. There are some parts inside the mechanism that move easily, so it won’t open if you make a wrong move. Please try to solve with the image of not spilling the liquid in the flask.
