Nakiawase uses equipments such as kooke and nakidai, as illustrated in ""Shunchōdan"" (1845, Kōka 2), a guidebook that introduces how to breed Japanese nigtingales and explains about nakiawase. This particular kooke used during the Shōwa period follows the same style as the Edo period. The kooke not only stored the birdcage and the bird, but by making a rounded interior, it was designed to echo the bird's chirping. The lavish design of the front panel demonstrates the high level of craftsmanship and the aficionados' fascination for the game at the time.
