MUJIMASU 五勺枡Goshaku masu set of 12

From Masuya, which has been manufacturing and selling only wooden Masu since 1950.
Masu has been a part of our Japanese life for 1,300 years.

Masu were used in the past as measuring instruments and tools for paying tribute, and in modern times they are often used as drinking vessels, as souvenirs for celebrations and as novelties and goods at events.

It holds almost half the volume of an Ichigo-masu. The drinking spout is thinner than that of the Ichigo Masu, making it easier to drink. Recommended for use at drinking events and as a novelty item

Size Outer 67 × 67 × 47 mm, interno 51 × 51 × 39 mm (1 pace)

All Masuya Masu are made from Japanese hinokiwood.(Japanese cypress)

The timber used to make the Masu is made from scraps of construction timber used when building houses. The wood is not logged to make the Masu, but is part of a cycle of reforestation by using timber that has limited use in the first place.
