Designed by Minoru Abe, purchased 2013.
(cardboard box 4.3" x 5" x 7/8", wood tray, 7 wood pieces and wood keeper;

All pieces are square except the large star is 4/3 wider than the others.
The tray is arranged in three rows, where the top and bottom rows are each 4 units wide,
but the top row is shifted 1/3 unit left with respect to the bottom row.
The middle row has a one unit area,
shifted 1 unit from the left edge of the top row,
and a 4/3 unit area shifted 1/3 unit from the right of the top row
(leaving 1/3 unit between the two areas).
