Yatate (矢立) are small personal smoking-pipe-shaped writing sets from medieval Japan which provided a carrying box for the ink cotton, and a shaft for a brush (and possibly a letter opener). Yatate literally means "quiver" ("ya-tate"). The name comes from the practice of early bushi who kept ink stones inside their quivers.
Wish you all a pleasant weekend
