Our world is becoming more and more digitally connected. However, no matter how close we digitally get, there are many things we can only feel through our five senses. Our five senses are used every day in our lives through clothing, food and living items. We chose our clothes once or twice a day, eat three times a day, and spend our time at home feeling our living items. Our vision is to offer quality and unique products from Japan to present an opportunity to enhance your life style. We want you to feel more about Japan through your five senses.

Masu Box
About Masu
For over 1300 years, the Masu has played an important role in Japanese tradition.
Originally a measuring cup for foods such as rice and soy sauce, the Masu was used to measure rice when it was commonly used as a form of currency.
For the Japanese people, the Masu was as valuable and important as the rice it contained. This tradition remains an essential part of the lives of many people today.
Spiritual Energy Detector
BAKETAN
Would you like to know if there are any spirits around you?
BAKETAN is a stone which is designed to detect spiritual energies around you based on a random number algorithm, The random numbers are generated using the piezoelectric effect of the QUARTZ CRYSTAL inside that vibrates at a certain frequency.
When activated, the stone checks to see how random these numbers are, and if the stone detects a bias towards certain numbers or sequences of numbers, then it deems this to be either good or bad spiritual energy which may reside around you.
In Japan, where it has sold over 200,000 units in last 15 years, this is often used to detect the type of surrounding spiritual energies. It also can react to natural anomalies such as earthquakes.
There is a spot mode, continuous mode and a barrier mode in case a negative spirit happens to be detected.
Seeing is believing. Give it a try.
