Are inro "period correct" for pre-Edo outfits? If not, what did they use as "pockets" during the sengoku jidai?

So desu ka? Inro are out-ro, then? Just trying to figure out the best way to carry cash, meds, etc. while dressed in a hara-ate and associated clothing. Somehow, the idea of pulling out a modern wallet seems...wrong...somehow...

I'd be willing to trade pretty fluttery sleeves for storage from time to time....) And yes, inro. www.sengokudaimyo.com/miscellany/inro.html

Arigato gozaimasu! Hmmm... Effingham, if you're reading this at some point, could you post pics (drawings, photos, whatever) of the inro made using the instructions on your website, please? I'm afraid I can't make heads or tails of the instructions without them. And what is "wood card stock", anyway? Is it just plain card stock, like you'd find in a printing or hobby shop, or something else entirely?

They are also fun for blowing nanbanjin minds; it always seems to surprise and delight them when I reach into a sleeve and produce an object. Also seriously, a female friend reported that she was able to carry smallish objects in the open-inside sleeves of her modern kinomo without dropping them. Not being female, I have never had occasion to test this, so your success may vary.

Everything I have seen indicates that inro are so late period/gray area that unless your persona is similarly late period you should forget it.
Myself, I use kinchaku. People here frown on them, but seriously, everybody in the world was using fabric drawstring bags in period, in my opinion. I try to reserve little extra fabric when I make hakama and kosode, so that the bag will match the outfit and be less conspicuous. If it really bothers you, you can hang it inside your hakama right near the side opening for easy access.
Even a smallish kinchaku has plenty of room for essentials like ID and a few folded bills. A larger but still manageable kinchaku can hold much more. If you hakama are tied tightly enough, hanging even a somewhat bulky kinchaku from the himo is no real burden.

I've dropped/lost enough items that way that I don't do it any longer.

I just gave up and carry a canvas 'pilgrim style' shoulder bag. Mostly because I find it extremely annoying to carry anything in my hands or by my wrist.

Hey, from now on I just need to make sure my path crosses that of a certain chivalrous rapier fighter in my kingdom who always insists on carrying my things for me, even when the load is negligible.

You know, I've often wondered about this. In jidai geki, you sometimes see people with rolled bundles across one shoulder or around their waist, but you rarely see anyone carrying a larger load of anything but firewood. How did people in period carry loads? Did Ronin just not have a spare shirt / fundoshi to carry?
In Mushi-Shi, Ginko carries a sort of Chinese apothecary chest on his back with straps, but this is literally the only character I can think of who carries anything but firewood on his back.
