Hako (Hakarigo) - Warigo

Japanese: 破子(破籠) - わりご
Hako (Hakarigo) - Warigo
A container for carrying food. According to the Wamyōshō, it was a kareike, a curved food container with an internal partition. It was generally made from thin cypress boards and had two compartments. As the Utsubo Monogatari states, "50 hiwarigo, 50 ordinary hiwarigo," in addition to ordinary hiwarigo, there was something called hiwarigo. Considering that hiwarigo itself was made of cypress, it is difficult to understand how these two were different, but the Kayanoin Suikaku Utaawase (1035) notes that the hiwarigo used on that occasion had legs made of mother-of-pearl on a rosewood base.

Japanese:
食物を入れて持ち運ぶ容器。《和名抄》によると餉笥(かれいけ),つまり食物を入れる曲物(まげもの)の器で,内部に仕切りのあるものとされている。おおむねヒノキの薄板で造り,ふたつきのものだったようである。《宇津保物語》に〈檜破子(ひわりご)五十,ただの破子五十荷〉とあるように,ふつうの破子のほかに檜破子と呼ぶものがあった。破子そのものがヒノキを材料としたことを考えると,この両者がどう違っていたのか理解しにくいが,《賀陽院水閣歌合(かやのいんすいかくうたあわせ)》(1035)には,その際に用いられた檜破子が,紫檀(したん)の地に螺鈿(らでん)を施した足をつけてあったと注記している。
