Name this cleaning kit....

I'm assuming Japenese (there are some stitched symbols on the case) but don't know for sure. Don't have a clue if they all belong to the kit, or what half of them are for.

Little golf clubs for when the soldier gets bored??

I've seen people in Asia clean their ears with the little hockey stick shaped thingies...

Anybody have a clue? The estate they came from was a retired doctor from the US that serves as a medic in the South Pacific in WWII, and this was something he found in a fox hole.

Well since it's obviously NOT a U.S. cleaning kit or one for an Enfield, that leaves only one possibility.

I have not seen that type of cleaning kit before. I had a holster from a Tokyo yard sale to my friends hands,then to me, last year. No one had seen an open type Nambu holster, just close clam shell. But that hoster was for a Japanese automatic and was Japanese by design, stitching etc. After WWII there was a lot of kit made for American military (tourists) garrisoned in Japan. You may find that kit of yours, if from the orient, could fall into this catagory.
Good luck.
