Cumos CH80 Universe Box - Cubic Kaleidoscope - Universe in a Box by Minori Yamazaki - Groundbreaking Optical Effects Toy

The name 'Cumos' is a combination of 'Cube' and 'Cosmos' and essentially means 'universe inside a box'. A variation on the Kaleidoscope by Japanese artist Minori Yamazaki, originally designed back in 1980. Also known as a cubic kaleidoscope, the Cumos at first sight is a rather inconspicuous item, but upon further inspection the interior is a delight to view. You'll instantly admire the hours of work and love the artist has put into producing these stunning pieces of art, the Cumos Universe box is inspired by the artists love of "three-dimensional depth and breadth of infinite reflection". Whilst the internal image does not move, you can manipulate the visuals to different colours by moving the included multi-colour LED light around. The CH-80 Universe box features a front facing peep hole, while the CM-90 a corner viewing triangle. Each cube is engraved with the model, date of production and Mr Yamazaki's signature.
