This is a strange one. The first characters are Katakana. One of the two Japanese syllabic writing systems (used mostly for foreign words)

 

プレパリール (phonetically it spells out "purepari-ru" I tried looking it up and found the word in a old Japanese medical history magazine. It then gives the corresponding word in German Präparier

 

Präparier seems to translate to Preparier (someone who prepares something like a Tax Preparier) in English

 

The last character is hako 箱 = box

 

So the box of someone who prepares something (but what?)

Mr. Queen,

So together it would mean prepare Box. Still don't know if it is prep kit for Medical or Dental.

I am attaching images of the inside components. The first image is a stamp on the bottom of the box.
