This puzzle is dedicated to the early 20th century Japanese artist Kamisaka Sekka. The painting shows three cranes on a beige background and is part of Sekka's woodblock masterpiece Momoyogusa (A World of Things). You can find more pictures of Sekka's works among the puzzle pieces.

The complete puzzle artwork.

Unlike an ordinary puzzle, the ClairDeBois puzzle pieces themselves are what is fascinating, thanks to their unique shape. Often, the outline of a single piece reveals a motif reminiscent of the artist. Each puzzle piece is unique.

Assembling the puzzle is challenging, even with just 200 pieces: wavy lines, human figures, spirals, flowers, and all other original shapes must be looked at closely to see if they fit together.

All ClairDeBois creations are 100% made in Berlin: from design to printing to laser cutting.

The puzzle is packaged in an elegant magnetic cardboard box. ClairDeBois puzzles are very often used as original gifts for Christmas, birthdays, or simply as a thank you.

Attention: The pieces are partly very delicate, which is part of their charm. But they are also fragile. If a piece breaks, a little wood glue should fix the problem. Otherwise, one piece becomes two, but that does not prevent assembly. Furthermore, when opening the box, a smell may escape that comes from the manufacturing process. However, this smell disappears quickly as soon as the parts are exposed to the air.
