Tabakoire (tobacco pouch)

This tobacco pouch is made of imported saraça. The saraça like this was called "keito-saraça" in Japan. Keito means plumed cockscomb. Although the flowers drawn on the saraça are not plumed cockscomb, this type of saraça had such name. The fitting metal of the pouch represents uchiwa, a Japanese fan. It was made by a famous metalworking craftsman Kashima Ikkoku.
