In the beginning, Inro was used as a tool to keep one’s
seal and vermilion inkpad inside. But in the early Edo period, it changed to
carry some medicines. In travel, it became necessary regardless of the
man and woman. A lot of Inro consists of the group of a small box from 3
to 4 steps. Several kinds of regular medicines were subdivided here.
As the Edo period neared its end, inro became increasingly decorative
and popular as fashionable accessories.
