Japanese Puzzle Box Distributor?

Hello -

I am looking for help in locating distributors and wholesalers of Japanese puzzle boxes and similar mechanical take-a-part puzzles. Do any of you provide this service? Or...can you point me in the right direction? The common refferals to retailers such as Cleverwood, Bit & Pieces, etc. are appreciated but not what I am after. I am looking to make large quantity purchases at the wholesale level for resale at retail.

Much thanks in advance for any assistance.

Best regards, Bo C.

i found this site in japan... see if this helps you out: www.yosegi.net/index-e.html
