Reminder that no matter how much you whine about slavery in a fictional setting no Mauretanian slaves or Eastern European forced prostitutes will be freed. Neither will their living conditions improve.

I meant the tube for water and small bamboo boxes (you can bent bamboo into shape if I remember correctly) for everything else, but I didn't know about the Koshibin. Thanks.
So, everyday household items are good and all, but why is no one talking about the usefulness of the bamboo tube and potential food boxes for field rations? Wouldn't such military minded people think about that first?
