finally

Remember this karakuri box? Well, I think it is actually called a himitsubako (secret box)

Anyway, the other night, I decided I was going to try to open it
 

I channeled my father, who loved puzzles and I also used youtube, oh and google lens helped too

Some sites had the exact box, but didn’t have the way to open it..boo!

Satoshi said there was only a 5 yen coin in the box, but I said I thought there was a 100 yen in there from the sound it made when the coin hit the walls of the box

So using similar strategies and techniques that I saw on youtube…

I opened it! Satoshi was amazed.

And there was a super old 100 yen in there! (I think it is made of silver!)

I'm glad I was able to open it and that we could see what was in there.

Thanks Dad!
