AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Antique Japanese matchbox / match holder in good condition.
The small box is made of copper/brass/bronze.
The small box sometimes doesn’t close as well (needs help) because, with age, there’s a little looseness in the hinge, but it still closes properly most of the time.
