"Bindle" mainly originated from the United States from the late 19th century to the early 20th century. At that time, many workers called "hobo" had to wander around looking for work in order to make a living in the recession. In this kind of life that is like living in the water, everyone can only move around with luggage as big as a cloth bag. And this "bindle" has gradually become a symbol, symbolizing traveling or wandering in creative works.

After learning that this thing is called "bindle", it immediately triggered an enthusiastic response from Japanese netizens. Everyone said that the doubts they had had since childhood were finally solved, while citing examples of "bindle" that appeared in various works...

"So the official name of this thing is 'Bindle'!? I remember it appeared in "Tom and Jerry" as a supernormal thing!!"

"Isn't this bag that Br'er Rabbit took when he ran away from home also a 'Bindle'?"

"In 'Wallace and Gromit', he also took this when he ran away from home! It feels like it's similar to Torajiro's bag (laughs)

"When I was a child, I also imitated "Calimairo", tied a handkerchief on the front of the stick and said: "I am going to travel~~" So I really benefited a lot from reading this article. But "Calimairo" It's an Italian work... I don't know what it's called in Italian?"

"Norman Rockwell's works also appear."

"There are similar things in Tarot cards."

I really didn't know this thing had a name~~
