Masu x imasa

 - LIMITED EDITION MASU BY imasa -

 “ASANOHA” The Japanese geometric patterns 
Asanoha (麻の葉) means hemp leaf. It evokes this resistant plant which grows fast and straight. Thus it symbolizes good and healthy growth, vigor, resistance or resilience, and by extension prosperity. It was logically mainly used on garments for babies and toddlers.
Hexagons, which are made up of triangles that were originally meant to ward off negativity , is also a symbol of universal coherence. 

 Bringing Japanese tradition closer to you 
Masu has been a part of our daily lives since 1300 years ago.
Masu is not only used for measuring rice but is also used for sake and as a memento for celebrations.
All the Masu we make are made from Japanese cypress.
In order to deliver the fragrance of Japanese cypress and the gentle surface of the wood to you, the craftsmen make each product with all their heart and soul.

Environmentally Friendly

No trees are cut specifically for the purpose of making a Masu box. Masu boxes are made by effectively recycling wood that did not meet building material standards because of its shape or size.
