1905

As faras I know this design first appears in 'Shukouka Kyohon : Liron Jishuu Souga Setsumei' by Kikujiro Kiuchi, Rokushiro Uehara and Hideyoshi Okayama, which was published by Shigebei Takase in Chiba in 1905, where it is titled 'Long Box'.

1908

The same design appears in 'Origami zusetsu' (Illustrated Origami) by Sano Shozo, which was published in Tokyo in 1908, where it is presented both as a box (36) and with an open end as a Dustpan (35).
