Antique Japanese Masu Boxes are a vintage wood storage solution crafted from natural wood finish, designed as a set of three stackable masu boxes that serve as both traditional rice boxes and small wooden containers. These Japanese wooden box sets measure precisely to provide authentic wooden tax storage, reflecting the historic use of masu for measuring and storing nengu (tax rice) since the Middle Ages. Each kanji branded box features aged wood storage with metal-reinforced rims to prevent wear, adding rustic Japanese decor charm to any space.


This stackable masu set includes three different sizes: Large (6.7in × 6.7in × 3.5in / 17cm × 17cm × 9cm), Medium (5.5in × 5.5in × 2.8in / 14cm × 14cm × 7.2cm), and Small (4.5in × 4.5in × 2.4in / 11.2cm × 11.2cm × 6cm). The weights are carefully balanced at 420g, 270g, and 184g respectively, making them easy to handle yet durable for everyday use or display.


Each box is made of wood and iron, with visible rust and scratches that attest to their authenticity as Japanese vintage furniture pieces. The metal plates on the edges protect the rims from wear while contributing to the rustic aesthetic that collectors and enthusiasts appreciate.
