Description
A traditional Japanese decorative container used for storing and carrying medicines, traditionally hung from an obi, or waist sash. It consists of five interlocking containers or chambers of lacquered wood, with a brown coloured cord threaded through both sides to enable opening then re-sealing of the chambers. At one end the cord has a peach coloured glass bead threaded through it, and then another cylindrical container in two sections.
