Kon-nichi-wa. There are all Nice design i feel. My feeling of nostalgia made from nationality.
I type some URL link to old medicine package. Battery shaped medicine. It means “Not keep out from body inside” colection owner wrote. http://www2.nkansai.ne.jp/users/hirono/n-hurima/s50.htm
I guess you ain’t need to know this info. But Please give me permission to put out useless knowledge from my bornhead!
okigusuri- If literally translated, it means “placed medicine.” In Japan, certain medications are always put together in a first-aid box of sorts. In most cases, the family determines which medications go in this box, and when a traveling pharmacist visits their house (every so often), the family pays just enough to the pharmacist to replenish their supplies of the medicines. (Jen’s note: No profits for the poor pharmacist?) I called it a “medicine drawer” because my grandmother living in Japan has one of these, and she uses a miniature 2 drawer shaped box to store the medications she keeps a stock of.

By his narration Azakeri has reminded me that every family seems to have some “collection” of medicine, and no doubt some items in this collection will be rather old and and will attract your curiosity. And what’s interesting - they may be much nore practical thatn their newest analogies! My grandmother had a hot-water bottle so old that the rubber it was made of had begun to crumble. But its comfortable cosy shape can hardly be overcomed by anything we can come across today!
