Case (Inrō) with Design of Curtains of State and a Woman's Fan
Summary
Public domain photo of Japanese sculpture, 3d object, free to use, no copyright restrictions image - Picryl description.
Because traditional Japanese dress lacked pockets, objects were often carried by hanging them from the obi in containers known as sagemono (a hanging object attached to a sash). Most sagemono were created for specialized contents, such as tobacco, pipes, writing brush and ink, but the type known as inro is suitable for carrying small things, and was created in the Sengoku period (1467–1615) as a portable identity seal and medicine container for travel.
