Description: The word "yatate" originally referred to a quiver, which was used by warriors to carry arrows in. In the Kamakura period (1185-1333), it was customary to put a small inkstone and a brush in the quiver when carrying writing implements to battle, and this inkstone was called "Yatate no inkstone," which gradually led to the term "yatate" for a set of writing implements for carrying.A yatate is a portable writing instrument that combines a brush and an inkwell. There are various types of yatate, including wooden, bamboo, and ceramic as well as brass and other metals; the hinoki fan type, which has an inkwell, brush compartment, and sliding lid attached to a square wood body; the ladle type, which looks like a "pipe" with a brush compartment tube attached to the inkwell; the inro type, in which the inkwell and tube are connected by a string; and the box type.The ink bottle was not filled with liquid ink, but with cotton or moxa, and ink was dripped into the cotton or moxa to carry it around.
