此辭彙字面上的意義為「封印的小盒」，這種漆器多以絲線懸掛於臀上，另一端繫在附於腰帶上的根付。這類物品在桃山時代（西元1573年至1615年）多用於收納印章，但直到江戶時代（西元1615年至1868年），印籠才作為藥盒使用而廣泛流行。

英文....	Literally "seal caddy", these lacquerware containers were carried on the hip, suspended from the "obi" with a silk cord attached to a "netsuke". During the Momoyama period (1573-1615) they were used to contain seals, but they did not become popular until the Edo period (1615-1868), when they were used instead as medecine boxes.
