My guess is that it's the same concept, though. Now, if I could find a patent number on the thing... It does look like that, except it’s hexagonal. My guess is that it’s the same concept, though.

@ Mélisande*
Hommage soit qui mal n’y pense point!

It opens and closes using a fun, non-twist collapse fold which incorporates curved creases. I have no clue who originated that box -- I've had it for 3 years now. (And it doesn't resemble anything I've seen you do, BTW.) I'll have to show it to you sometime and see if it's in this Ekiguchi book you mention.
