Echo 4

Yuu Asaka was born in Takasaki, Japan, and studied art at Akita University. During his third year, he decided to design a puzzle as part of a project. He wanted to explore unspoken assumptions and rules created by people, and the result was a fascinating puzzle that requires true “out-of-the-box” thinking to solve.

He is the creator of Jigsaw 29 – the puzzle that received an “Honorable Mention” at the Nob Yoshigahara Puzzle Design Competition 2018. Since then, he has continued to develop a long series of puzzles called “Play Time,” including Jigsaw 19, Wave 5, Wave 7, and Ice 9.
