Derivation unknown.[1]

First cited to the 膏薬煉 (Kōyaku-neri), the title of a 狂言 (kyōgen, “farcical interlude”) song dating to the late 1500s, early 1600s.[2]

Originally referred to a leather oblong bag hung from one's waist, used for storing bullets, as also described in the 1603 日葡辞書 (Nippo Jisho).[3] Over time, other uses and materials came into fashion, such as use as a handbag or tobacco pouch, or manufacture from 羅紗 (rasha, “woolen felt”). By the early Meiji period (1868­–1912), leather was again a popular material, and uses had evolved to include everything from handbags to satchels.[1][2][4][5][6]

In roughly the first decade of the Meiji period, this term was mostly displaced by the term 鞄 (kaban),[2][6] and usage or this term 胴乱 (dōran) became restricted.[2]
