Descripción
Literally "seal caddy," these lacquerware containers were carried on the hip, suspended from the "obi" with a silk cord attached to a "netsuke." During the Momoyama period (1573-1615) they were used to contain seals, but they did not become popular until the Edo period (1615-1868), when they were used instead as medicine boxes.
