Japanese Imonbukuro, Soldier Comfort Bag - These small bags were ubiquitous throughout the Japanese armed forced. The "comfort bag" was the WWII Japanese equivalent of a "Care Package." They were used to send small tokens to military personnel - tobacco, razors, postal cards, tins of food - in short, anything that could boost morale and make the life of the serviceman more tolerable. These could be found on all fronts and many GIs used them to bring tiehr own souvenirs home.
