Karakuri Visible 3-Ary Drawer (Ternary)

This work was designed for the Karakuri Puzzle Party in Hakone 2018. Designer Hiroshi Iwahara wondered, “Is it possible to make items of system such as Binary or Ternary with a very clear design?”

There are only 3 “drawers”. It is the minimum number that needed to fully enjoy the system. It takes 18 moves to open. When all the 3 “drawers” are correctly maneuvered, you can open the bottom compartment.
