Inspiration


An inro is a small box attached to a cord used to hold small objects in ancient Japan. Because traditional Japanese clothing lacked pockets, objects were often carried by hanging them from the obi, or sash. Most inro were created to hold specific items, such as tobacco, pipes, a writing brush and ink, identity seals and medicines but they were suited for carrying anything small. They inspired me to create a modern version which can also be used to carry small and very special items or nothing at all.
