This bull kogo (incense case) is 3" long x 1.5" wide and marked on the bottom. It came with its original tomobako but no cloth or documentation. It is meant to hold three pieces of incense for a tea ceremony. I did quite a bit of research on this but it is all at my other house. Will update and add links the next time I go there. I have six or eight of these in various styles, all pottery, most in the original box or tomobako. I think that I identified the maker of this one, but that information is also at my other house. Different materials are used for different seasons.

I don't get push notifications either since the crash.
It might help if they heard from more people than me, though maybe they already have.....
