Traditional model (Japan)

Cubic box

The video is hosted on YouTube: it only loads when you press Play.

This cubic box is based on the traditional masu. It can be used as a storage box or as pretty gift wrapping. It is folded from two squares of different sizes, one for the box and a smaller one for the lid. In the video, I used a 9 cm square for the lid of a box made from a 15 cm square, which gives quite a shallow lid. You can vary the size of the lid sheet (from 9 to 13 cm) to change its depth (as in the photos).
