This is a **vermilion-lacquered masu (a square wooden cup) used only once during a Shinto wedding ceremony** at Meiji Jingu Shrine. I received it after the ceremony and have kept it at home. I'm offering it for sale because I haven't used it and it seems a shame to let it go to waste. I hope someone will find a use for it. The sides are decorated with a chrysanthemum crest and the design for "明" (light/bright). It can be used as a sake cup, a small item container, or as a piece of Japanese interior decor. ⸻ Condition * Usage: Only once during the ceremony * No cracks or chips * Very minor scratches from storage * This is not a new or unused item. ⸻ Size * Outer dimensions: Approximately 8cm x 8cm (square) * Shape: Square * Please note that there may be slight variations due to amateur measurements. ⸻ Shipping * Carefully packaged with cushioning material * Anonymous shipping ⸻ Notes * Please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for a perfectly flawless item.
