What is a fiber trunk?

During the late Taishō period (early 1920s Japan), it was developed using fiber, which was an electrical insulator.
It was later commercialized as a trunk and later adopted as the bag for the athletes at the Berlin Olympics.
Nowadays, this trunk case is very rare even worldwide.
