High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Yosegi-zaiku is a type of traditional Japanese parquetry which originated in Japan's culturally rich Edo Period. It has been increasingly well reputed in foreign countries. The mosaic work is made by making best use of natural fine grains and textures of wood. Timbers of different colors are cut into oblong rods of desired sections. Yosegi veneers are commonly found on the outside of Japanese secret boxes (himitsu-bako) or puzzle boxes, but may also be used to decorate many other items such as trays, chests, photo frames but the most common use is to decorate the surface of the Japanese yosegi Puzzle boxes.

Measurement in sun gives the approximate size of the box. Some well-known masters pride themselves in making unique boxes that do not follow any size guidelines.
