Description
 This item is an antique Kayakuire (火薬入れ, powder flask). It is a small container to store gunpowder. In Japan, powder flasks were made from developed materials and produced with advanced techniques. Some of them were gorgeously painted with lacquer. We estimate this powder flask was made in the Edo period or later.

 You see that the Netsuke (根付, miniature sculpture) is attached to this case. It is a fastener used when hanging various items such as Inro (印籠, case), purse, or small bag from the Obi (帯, belt) with a string and carrying them around. As the picture below shows, you could hang this powder flask on your belt and enjoy it as a part of your fashion.
