Hand-crafted in a natural wood color, this sturdy, slender box is designed to store a hanging scroll, or kakejiku . The lid fits flush on the top. It has two wooden brackets inside the box to secure the scroll. This specific box has no inscriptions.

Typically on display in Japanese tokonoma alcoves in homes and other traditional establishments such as ryokan , traditional Japanese inns, hanging scrolls

have various themes, from seasonal/holiday images to poems to Buddhist text and imagery. For additional decorative detail, it's common to add scroll weights, or fuchin , which are tassels with heavy, polished stones that hang from the bottom end caps.
