Regarding the soup bowls: <br />Later I found a third version with black cats which explicitly called it the Nyanko nabe puzzle, which translates as Sleeping Cats puzzle. Apparently the bowl is supposed to represent some kind of clay pot called a Nabe. Unfortunately all three versions are effectively the same puzzle. It is fairly easy to place the six cats in the bowl under the lid. Puzzle wise some of the Toyo glass packing puzzles are far more challenging, but it still a nice looking addition to the set of Japanese packing puzzles.<br /><br />RobAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
