some (more) things I brought back from kyoto

Some things I brought back from Kyoto...

Since I have sort of a collection of these girl's day dolls...I brought back MIL's stash...these looked really old and are actually clay bells.

These are laquered wood and I think I have the same ones but bigger...
This is a karakuri (move/slide) box, if you move/slide parts of the box it will unlock.

If I’m not mistaken people used to hide valuables in boxes like these.

Satoshi says there is a coin inside...love the top of the box.

This is the bottom of the box and the sides.

If you have the same box, please tell me how to unlock it...Satoshi says he has never been able to open this one.
