If you're looking for a Japanese puzzle that is bright, fun and unique, you need look no further than offerings such as these by Epoch puzzles. This puzzle features small pieces (which I love) and a vibrant design (created by renowned Japanese illustrator Kayo Horaguchi). The attention to detail is incredible and as you do the puzzle, you will come across more and more different details that may have escaped your attention the previous time around. So far, I have done two of her puzzle designs and I hope to eventually do more.
They're definitely stand-outs in my collection!

I felt like putting up a 'busy' puzzle today, and you can't get more busy than this one!
Featuring the artwork of Japanese artist Kayo Horaguchi, this is a vibrantly coloured and chaotic design which features mystical castles, floral-topped cats, flying horses and amanita mushrooms. With tiny pieces, this puzzle was an absolute pleasure to do, and less challenging than you may think. Although there were some instances when colours were similar, most of the shades were specific to a certain area of the design which made it less difficult to place them.
This was my first attempt at an Epoch branded puzzle and I wasn't disappointed. The combination of quality and design was outstanding and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I only have one small complaint, and that is that some of the pieces were cut so finely (due to their size) that the edges broke off (but this only happened on two and can understandably happen with any brand).
I'll be taking on more Horaguchi designs in future, as well as Epoch branded puzzles, because they're definitely my cup of tea! :)
