The History of the MASU
For over 1300 years, the Masu has played an important role in Japanese tradition, originally serving as a measuring cup for foods like rice and soy sauce and being used to measure rice when it was a common form of currency. The Japanese people regarded the Masu as valuable and important as the rice it contained, and this tradition continues to be an essential part of their lives today.
More recently, the Masu has gained recognition as a vessel for serving Sake and has become a symbol of good luck. The term "Masu" translates to "growth" in Japanese, making it an icon of prosperity and great happiness. Furthermore, Masu is frequently employed in sacred rituals, where holy offerings are often presented to spirits within the Masu box.
On the day before the official start of spring, it is customary for farmers to offer beans in a Masu box to pray for a rich harvest. A unique feature of the Masu is that it is constructed by wedging together precisely cut pieces of wood and applying a very small amount of adhesives, all without the use of any nails.

Japanese Cypress
The Japanese Cypress, known as Hinoki, is celebrated in Japan as a symbol of great luxury, appreciated not only for its enchanting fragrance but also for its remarkable versatility as a building material, making it a preferred option for the construction of elegant hot spring baths across the country.

Refreshing Hinoki
This distinct wood, known for its delightful scent, has been proven to possess remarkable natural qualities, as attested by the release of specific aromatic compounds. Owing to these unique attributes, the Japanese Cypress has earned its reputation as an exceptionally favored choice when it comes to selecting materials for various household items, particularly in the realms of kitchenware and bath accessories
