Size: Approximately Issho Masu (one-sho cup): 17 x 17 x 9.2 cm (height) Originally used as a tool for measuring the volume of rice and sake. Used to measure "go," "sho," and "to," units of the Japanese system of measurement. Currently used as a sake vessel for drinking Japanese sake, as a container for Setsubun beans, and as a container for commemorative items for celebrations. Made of Hinoki cypress, you can enjoy the texture and aroma of the wood. Since "Gifu" is written on it, it is likely that Hinoki cypress from Gifu Prefecture is used. "Masu" is associated with the word "masu" (to increase), so it is also valued as a lucky charm. ★ Also, Ebisu picture 1-sho masu #OhashiRyoki #Antique #Vintage #Liquid 1-sho masu #Rice 1-sho masu #Wooden 1-sho masu #Old tools #Vintage items #Old folk house #Made in Gifu Prefecture #Gifu Prefecture 1-sho masu #Ornament #Interior #Small item container #Sake vessel #Sake #Rice #Measurement #Measuring tool
