Nope, that's not it.

This one is kind of hard to see very well, it's a long container with a lid and attached to it is a small container with a lid.

You eat cigars for breakfast ??

Didn't you see the "Ike's bris" ep of South Park? ;-D

Powder and bullet holder

Robert

No, I think it is a brush case with an inkpot attached. For the kind of brush you use writing Japanese or Chinese characters.

Correct, if you do a search on the word yatate you will see more of them.
