ふで (fu de) means writing brush.
ばこ (ba ko) is same as はこ (ha ko), which means box.
The word ふでばこ derives from the old Japan. It literally means ‘a box for brushes to write with’.
People needed to carry brushes to write something with instead of pencils long time ago in Japan. They put the brushes into a box, which people started to call ふでばこ.
People still use the word ふでばこ although they don’t carry ふで any more.
