Small container brought up in morning (4)
I believe the answer is:
inro
'small container' is the definition.
(type of container in traditional Japanese culture)
'brought up in morning' is the wordplay.
'brought up' says the letters should be written backwards (in a down clue, letters go up).
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'orni' is hidden in the letters of 'morning'.
'orni' written backwards gives 'INRO'.
(Other definitions for inro that I've seen before include "Underground level" , "small container" , "decorative box" , "boxes" , "Japanese box" .)
