This listing is for a vintage Japanese nunokogo incense container used in Japanese incense ceremony traditions. This portable container is designed to hold fragrant wood or sachets.

Wrapped in lustrous navy and gold silk brocade woven with chrysanthemum and flora motifs, this nunokogo embodies the quiet luxury of Japan's incense traditions. Originally crafted as a portable incense holder for tea and kodo ceremonies, it now makes a beautiful keepsake for jewelry, fragrance sachets, or sentimental treasures. The interior is a rich plum adding warmth and contrast. 

The translation of the writing in the box:

"This is a portable incense container. Please use it to carry your own incense when walking. It is made of pure silk woven fabric. You can also use it as a small accessory pouch. Ishiguro Koho (Incense Shop Ishiguro)."
