Yuuko box again!
Forgot to post one yesterday, but it's OK as I'm again at the limit of the photos I've got edited and uploaded. :)
Scattered throughout the box and packing material randomly are a few pieces of origami:
As you'll notice, it looks like there may be something written inside them. I'll leave it to you to decide which of the below things is inside which. :D

I wish I could lend a coat
To my Lord who is about to cross
The hill of Sanu
Through the cold morning-breath
Of the autumn wind
--Akahito, c. 730

Crafty Fox
There in the garden, a little fox
Steals out at night, when no one is about,
And under the shadow of the autumn vines
He eats in secret the dewy bunch
Love is no fox,
Nor you a bunch of grapes.
But unbeknown my heart stole out
And plucked you in secret, when no one was about.
--Toson Shimazaki (1872-1943)

That man's life is but a dream -
is what we now come to know.
Its house abandoned,
the garden has become home
to butterflies.

Hee! Foxy is especially cute and also looks pretty easy ... I think I see how he works just from the photo. (And yes! I just reverse-engineered him ... not as cute as yours, though!)
