Masu cups were originally used as a device for measuring volume and had long been an indispensable tool for daily life, business, and the payment of taxes. While this ancient Japanese method of measurement is no longer in use, the masu cups are still used for drinking sake and in celebrations. You can also use masu cups for such diverse uses as planters for a mini Bonsai tree or as decorative items in your home. These masu cups are made from high-quality Japanese cypress with a pleasant aroma grown in Gifu Prefecture’s Ogaki City, the country’s largest masu cup producer, and emblazoned with a Magatama crest, making it an item that is sure to add some more enjoyment to your life.
