Sumo is sleepy but the night is cold and all he has to keep him warm is a teeny tiny blanket... The award-winning "Square in Bag" puzzle has been reimagined as a whimsical fairy tale made of fabric and bamboo. With only two pieces and a simple goal, Sumo in Blanket may appear to be an easy solve but looks can be deceiving. To complete the puzzle successfully, the bamboo square must be totally covered by the bag—on all sides. It's not easy, but once you discover the proper method of tucking Sumo in, you'll be eager to share with friends.

Each puzzle includes a 5" square bamboo board and a hand-sewn blanket (bag) from vintage Japanese fabric of a random design. 

Created by Iwahiro (Hirokazu Iwasawa).

Matthew ★★★★★

I bought this for my niece's birthday and we ended up playing with it for an hour ourselves. The sleepy sumo and his tiny blanket are sewn so sweetly that each piece feels like part of a little story. It's a puzzle, but honestly it's more of a cozy bedtime toy.

I bought this for my sister who loves both puzzles and fairy tales, and the fabric pieces feel surprisingly sturdy for something so whimsical. The tiny blanket detail on the sleepy sumo made her laugh out loud, and it took us a cozy evening to finish.

The moment I unfolded the fabric pieces I got why the blanket is so tiny, and my five-year-old thought the whole sleepy sumo setup was hilarious. The pieces snap together with a satisfying little press, so cleanup is quick when bedtime rolls around.
